[UK-CONTEST] 80M CC SSB 19 March

[DAVID BUTLER]

>>That was a wild scurry. Started on 3758, and stayed there (apart from a few dives to work those not >>calling me). Some VERY close-in stations made copy a bit tough, but ended up with 212.
>>Don, G3BJ

Nice score Don.  I thought I would enter this ssb event for the first time. Bit of a thrash.
Using a (movable 360 degree) vee-beam with 525 feet legs - sort of pointing north-east.
Feed point at 75 feet - sloping down to 20 feet, V-angle about 50 degrees. 

Wish I had a real radio with filters! Using my very old TS690-S. Ended on 186 QSOs.

The 100W totally obliterated my broadband access. Son not impressed!
Presumably you just wind the telephone lead (before the router) around a suitable ferrite core.
Or is there a better way?
