     Comments: The first time I've tried the new QTH/station in a multi-op 

     contest. Still some work to do to get the antennas right. Although

     DX working was easy, some suggestion that the high-angle HF signal was

     not competitive, borne out by the score ! Conditions rather poor on 

     28 MHz, but nice low static levels on LF. Some stations exchanging

     without giving IOTA reference unless asked for - bad form !  Also a 

     few CW QSOs heard in the SSB band sections. Activity level very 

     encouraging.

      

     Equipment: FT1000 MP MkV + Quadra linear; FT1000MP + TL922 linear     

     Force 12 C4XLD at 80 ft (40-10), 80 m dipole, 87ft vertical (80)

     Trap dipole (80/40 mult station), 3 ele tribander at 25ft (mult stn)

     Butternut HF6V. Computer logging using networked NA (at last one that 

     works for IOTA !)
