[SEDXC] The October "100w and a wire" contest is off and running!

[Gary McConville]

There's something so GREAT about working DX on a wire.  It's not
nostalgia....  IT'S beating out the big guys on a basic antenna!  I
nailed the VK9W on a 30M dipole at 30ft.  My personal goal is to get
dxcc on an October wire...
