     Station : Kenwood TS830S - 100 watts and "T" antenna


Comments : Probably will not be on tonight so here is the score. I was mostly S&P
with an occasional CQ when I could find a clear frequency. It was very frustrating to
be pounced on all the time trying to work DX or for them to CQ in my face . I guess
that's life on 160 meters with only 100 watts. I heard PV8DX all over the place and
the guy could not hear 90% of the stations calling him!!  KV4FZ seemed to have the
same problem for awhile but I finally worked him.  Here is what I worked missed :

DX Worked :  ZF2NT, FM5GU, PJ2X, D4B, 9A1P, EA2LU/P, CT3FN, VO1HP, XE1MM, KV4FZ

Missed : ME,DC,MT,WY,ND,NS,MB,SK,AB,NWT,NB,YT,LB

DX Heard/Not Worked : PV8DX,FY5KE,I5JVA,9A1A,XE1V,G0IVZ,S50R,EA8ZS,HI3CR,OT3A,V31JP,

IK2NCJ,YT6T,HA0DU,HA8DU,EA6IB,YV1DIG,YV5MBX,P40,TI


Congrats to SECC 'ers - W8JI (W4AN) , K4BAI, K4EA, N4PN.etc... Sounds like you were
doing great !!!

I start my new job in Columbus (GA) tomorrow and we will be moving sometime during
Feb. so hopefully we will find a house to rent where I can put up a real 160
antenna......
