[Elecraft] More meaningful reports

[Donn Kuse]

I, too, enjoy reading about the success of various stations, not only DX but
others too.  Each time I wonder what type of antenna are they using?   As
Alex said, using 10 watts to a multi-element yagi at 65' is a lot different
than someone using a random wire or others.   At least with the antenna
info, I can see if they are using something close to what I can get up and
what my success might be like.
So, in future responses, PLEASE, include antenna info.  It helps all of us.
Tnx,
