Comments: Great Fun for two hours, no fun though when "on call" & GET CALLED 
IN!!

Heard lots of great ops including W5UN who worked me right after an F, an 
EA, and a DL--wow--could EU ever hear HIM with his 140 ft tall 4 sqaure!! 
W8JI worked some JAs just before me, and K9AY who was working everyone.

Great to hear lots of SEDX members!

Equipment: FT-1000D, Alpha 78

Antenna:  Quarter wave sloper at 43 ft. The W2AU "big signal balun" shorted 
on the 160 dipole at 80 ft...a friend observed, "Well it lasted 3 months 
with your Alpha. What did you expect for a 'store bought balun? ' "  Putting 
up the sloper was the fastest thing I could do to get on the air with an 
hour for "antenna time."

Headed out the door and up the tower, taking down the 160 dipole and going 
to try a 1/2 wave inverted L and about a 1/4 mile of radials. Hope the 
rabbits, squirrels, coyettes, foxes, and dogs don't get tangled up in them.

THANKS TO BOB, for urging us to participate.
