[UK-CONTEST] G3XTT SOAB(A)

[Don Field]

Like John G3LZQ, I also decided to do a "point and shoot", mainly to boost
my 2009 band-slots, especially on LF. This was all done with wires, having
taken down the tribander recently to put up the higher 160m inv-L. So
antennas were:

160: Inv-L at 90ft
80:  In-Vee at 60ft
40: Sloper at 60ft
20: Sloper at 60ft
15: 40m sloper!
10: Nothing (looks as though I didn't miss much!)

Rig: FT-1000D, Quadra.
Logging: Win-Test

Dawn on 40m was fun, with JA, UA0 (Zone 19), etc. Sunday evening was also
quite surprising. I never managed to raise VK9XW, but did work 9M8YY and B7P
first call. 160 was disappointing - I recall awesome 160m conditions in this
contest in 1995 and 1996 (last sunspot minimum) - I almost made DXCC on
topband in 1996 in a single-band (Assisted) effort. I believe last year was
good on topband, but I was in 3X at the time!

Points to CDXC.
