Just finished my first solo contest... November Sweeps...

Station was real modest... TS450S/AT connected to a 20M homebrew dipole
about 10-12 feet off the ground (one end is about 7 Feet, and the other end
is about 14 feet, so I guess it would be a sloper). And a laptop with a
logger program.

Worked in the low power single op class, and only ran for about 14 of the
allowable 24 hours.

I made a total of 202 contacts, and here is the breakdown...

20M=187 Contacts
40M=14 Contacts
80M=1 Contact

I worked 55 of the possible 80 sections, for a total claimed score of 22,220
points.

I am happy with this, and hope to get a better setup before the summer
contesting season gets into full swing.

What's my dynamic range on the bass trombone?   On or off.
These two tuba players walk past a bar... Well, it could happen!
