In both 2004 CQ WW SSB & CW Contests, I had the highest number of
10m QSO's of any USA station, including all the major multiops. Top tier
M/M's have much larger antenna systems, multiple operators, dual operating
positions, packet spots, pass stations between bands, etc. My NC QTH was
not the farthest south and my ears cannot be that much better than others.
My conclusions? I love my Orion, it really doesn't bother me that some
don't like it, and I only hope my competition doesn't discover it.
