Topband: Not so ood in the contest last night

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

I only made 35 contacts last night from my QTH.    I did however get 5 
new states and if those contacts use LOTW I will only need 5 more 
contacts for my WAS on 160m phone.

My antennas are an inverted L and big loop so I dont hear real well. 
But thats my realilty.

The worst part was I did not hear the South Lyon Group who was running 
W1AW/8 and they are only 10 ish miles away from me. Maybe tonight :-)

I am following the converstations on the receive loops and hopefully 
will have time and money to invest in one for a summer project and also 
figure out how to get my inverted L higher before my flat section.

Have fun everyone I know I do.
