[UK-CONTEST] ARRL - G3YYD

[David, G3YYD]

I did a part time entry. Managed to work all states/provinces except for 
AR, WY and YT. Must have missed AR and YT(?) as Dave BUO only missed WY.

As everyone says 20M was a Zoo. I tried 160m but unfortunately it was 
raining when I was available to work 160m and with 400KV power lines 
800m from the antenna then noise is a real problem - it is a problem 
even when dry on 160m. Also missed time on 80m due to rain causing power 
line noise.

A small 80m long beverage proved very useful on 160/80/40 with it 
helping to suppress EUs.  Other antennas; 160m top loaded vertical, 80m 
dipole, 40m dipole, 40m vertical polar delta loop, 20/15/10 Force12 
C19XR. The 40m dipole at 55ft  was significantly better than the delta 
loop as the band opened and closed with the delta better in the middle.
