QTH: CA
operating time: 5 hrs
80 m: 1

Rig: Yaesu FT-897D w/ AT-897 tuner
Key: nice old J-38 from the swap meet
Antennas: GAP Eagle DX vertical on 20 m, twin-lead-fed dipole on 80 m & 40 m
I was happy with the new dipole. On 40 m, it got me a KY, a PA & a MO. And
of course the one 80 m contact, where I cheated a little by ambushing
someone after a traffic net. Signal reports were not great, but I only ran
75 W to avoid annoying the neighbor with the touch lamp. This time I was
able to hold a frequency for seven Q's in a row. Think this is my best WES
so far.
