[RTTY] [3830] BARTG

[Anthony (N2KI)]

Jerry, Shelby,

I'm sure glad too that others have seen the very strange propagation.
Having just installed a new system here, I have to admit there were points
during the contest I was questioning my own sanity. I'm not sure how many
times I reached for the feed through block to make sure things were actually
connected. Propagation from the North East on 20 seemed to be
unidirectional. 40 was so-so, however the TY called me and also TA1DX on 40.
That was enlightening.  Great to print both of you.  See Ya !
