Lots of local noise at this portable hilltop QTH - S9+5 at times
With a 6 ft RX Loop - K3 DSP and ANC-4 Noise Reduction unit
I could take noise down to maybe S4 at times

Did well Friday eve with 300+ Qs but Saturday eve only yielded the
other100+ Qs

Kept knocking Internet off as 160 mtr full length INV V dipole at 70 ft apex
got into the phone lines ( DSL ) - hoping a few more well placed
2 inch 31 Mix Donuts will help stop that problem in future.

Best DX was when T32XX ( Kiribati DX-Pedition) called me
Only SA stn wrkd was YV5DIG.
No EU heard - New England and Eastern Canada very tough weak sigs
Missed SC ( although heard 2 SC stns S&Ping) but they never answered my CQs
No WV, VE4 or VE5 to be had either.

K3, ACOM2000A, 160 mtr Inv V Dipole at 70ft, 6 ft RX loop

73, Dennis N6KI
