Paul, W4PFM, reports 3.5 hours on the air - 89 Q's, 42 Mults, 7,476 points for PVRC									
									
MYA sez :From my perspective it was tuff going with no 160 antenna and no beverages.
Tried 80M dipole thru tuner, but it was poor,different configurations and the best
match found, without the tuner,	was using the two loops configured as shown in the picture, strange indeed. Puck's NOTE: The picture shows a "Rube Goldberg" lash-up.  Bob can do amazing things with most any sort of antenna.  Operating skill trumps hardware most everytime! 								
									
W4DR sez: Bad conditions especially for DX.  Very little Europe this year.								
									
N4DJ sez:I had my best start ever in a ARRL 160 test, averaging better than 60 per hour for over 4 hours.	Just could not get enough time in the chair. Total time was only 13 hours.								
									
W4PM sez: Mult's were down a bit but QSO total was up and our score was UP from last year!			Jonathan's reworked 4 square RX array worked great! It was like a beam - switch one way and you hear the west coast, the other way and you hear Europe! We had 95 five point contacts and a few good EU runs but not enough different countries.  Lots of G's, DL's, F's, S5's and I's.
