              Rig : Ten Tec Omni VII, ALS-600 - 500w (160-15M) 90W (10M)

         Antennas : 176' Center fed at 55 feet

          Soapbox : More contacts than last year but fewer multipliers so score down 86K.  160 a big problem with local noise (CABLE MODEM) and 80 way down from last year (more noise less propagation?)40 was very good and 15 was HOT HOT HOT!  Rate meter on 15 hit 240 or more a few times  and 2 hours had over 100 Q's in log! 10 meters is my worse band - ant doesn't work well and I can use low power only on 10M.  I spent a total of 29.5 hours in this one.

I heard N4DJ, WD4LBR, KG4W all of whom beat me out in all head to head calls!  Please let me know if you played in this one and how you did.  Hold off sending your logs in until the after the SSB portion is run.  We need to see how many logs we will have for the club and right now SSB participation looks pretty slim!
