> Received the plaque for 2008 CQWW RTTY Single Op 80M North America -- wow, what a handsome piece of lumber! While I realize this was not a hotly contested category, it feels special to have a plaque from a prestigious contest, and I did push the limits of my little pistol station to work just under 500 Q's on 80M. I won't call it a "miracle antenna" but my K1JEK Cobra Ultralight Sr. antenna (basically a ladder-line fed doublet, configured as an inverted vee and about 55' at the apex) did a nice job. Certainly no comparison to an 80M four square or Yagi, but it did the trick here.
