Interesting, my dipole was at about 45ft and I felt it was too low -
certainly for the early part of the contest. Lots of time CQing with no
replies. Ended with 121 Qs, which I would have settled for in a CW
contest in January, but there are plenty of stations way ahead of that.
A good warmup for AFS!
Don't forget for club members who aren't into computer logging, QSOs can
be keyed into the web-based log entry system at
