	A pretty good night last night:

	OK2RZ	2250	Not wrked
	DF2PY	0120	Huge signal, went to SSB to talk to KC1XX
	F2MA	0121	First call in a pile-up, Yes!...
	OZ7C	0125	Bummer several attempts no luck...
	0M2XW	0215	Easy
	9A2TW	0215	Not wrked. He never hears me...
	OK2RZ	0516
	IT9ZGY	0533	Huge signal gave him 579
	YL2SM	0540	339, he copied me as W01P...busted
	IV3PRK	0541	Huge signal. Not wrked
	SV2AVP	0545	339, Not wrked
	DL5WW	0549	Not wrked

	Not hearing any west coast, you guys awake out there?

	Added 500' of radials to the inverted L. Thanks everyone for your
	advice on my question of last week (go with more short than a few
	long was the unanimous choice). 7 - 67' and 1 - 33' made absolutely
	no difference to my SWR bandwith. Something is not right as I
	get two SWR minimums as I tune across the band....someone suggested
	coupling with my other band wire which is close by...

	Happy Holidays,

	Ken
