[K3PZN-List] FD Digital contacts

[Andy Leeds]

The SSB station was on 20M basically from start to 0700 Sunday when I 
moved up to 15M. The digital antenna was all of 6' from the beam so some 
issues are bound to be present. That antenna likely needs to be further 
away (and possibly switched to vertical polarization) to help the isolation.

Of the 1080 SSB contacts ~550 were on 20M so that was used most of the time.

I'll put the score together as soon as I get settled back in  from my trip.
