Comments:
Had fun, putting in a little time here and there. Was hoping to get some
new DX
added on to my quest for DXCC. Managed to get a couple of new ones as well
as
some others on new bands. Rig is a Yaesu 857D with a control cable hooked
up to
N3FJP contest software. Had fun using the spotting and frequency switching
with
the software program. It worked out well. 100 watts went into a G5RV that
is
"not high enough" so it made tuning difficult on 10 & 80.
I did try out a Hustler vertical on Sunday. Only made two contacts with
that
one & didn't seem to hear as much. Although, only a few radials were set
out,
with one of them dropped into the swimming pool. The jury is still out on
how
it compared to the G5RV. A fun time was had. 73
