[SADXA] Operating stuff

[Wes (N7WS)]

I know several members of the club have more QSOs and/or higher scores, but 
today I reached "Level 4" in the ARRL Centennial challenge (>15,000 points).  I 
concentrated more on the "high-value" targets and let the number of Qs fall 
where they may.

On a semi-related note, I cobbled together a 160-meter antenna and played a 
little in the ARRL 160-meter contest. I made 121 Qs and worked 40 states and 7 
countries.  Considering that my 45' high (in the middle) inverted-vee, with ends 
a few feet high is supposed to radiate straight up, this wasn't too bad.  I must 
credit ARRL for ordering up decent propagation and remarkably low noise over the 
weekend.  Also I must credit the fantastic ops who dug me out of the noise.  And 
a final note, I'm glad the K3 has a digital, not analog, S-meter or WA7NB would 
be owing me a new one.
