Best DX and Best Effort awards goes to W0AIH in Wisconsin for taking the
time to complete our QSO with accuracy. (290548Z)  W0AIH was also my
best DX (850 miles). Thanks!


My 28-ga insulated wire stealth antenna sagged almost 8 feet from the
ice which made it look "fat" like a 12-ga wire! If the antenna sagged
another four feet, the apartment below me would have easily noticed my
stealth antenna. The antenna "assumed its normal position" today after
the ice melted.


Yaesu FT-897 transceiver operated at 5 watts into a 5-MHz 28-gauge
insulated wire stealth antenna with ICE LOADING up 40 feet in trees next
to I-75 in downtown Atlanta industrial area. SGC SG-211 MiniSmartuner in
balanced mode. MicroHAM USB rig interface. WriteLog 10.52f.
