              Rig : Icom 7851 + Acom 2000 Amp   
         Antennas : Wilson System 3 tribander at 40 feet  (35 years old - Emergency antenna)
                           1/4 wave vertical for 40 M with 10 radials laid on the ground; no antenna for 80 M.

          Soapbox : I had decided to let some newbies learn about RTTY way before Hurricane Irma came through
which required me to take down the SteppIR DB36 and Waller Flag antennas.  Put up the emergency tribander on my
40 ft. EZ-way plus small 1/4 wave vertical for 40.  Used these for talking to the Islands after H. Maria went through.  Spent time
in the Emerg. nets and not putting back up the big antennas.  So... had very limited antennas with which to teach
the newbies (9 of them) how to operate and contest.  Had fun anyway, and was surprised when JA and TF called me on
20 M while running.  Taught both Running techniques and S&P methods.  Not the biggest score, but it was fun watching
the faces of newbies working DX and actually making QSOs on a new mode   8^)
