Comments:
I started the contest with a MyAntenna 8010 set up as an "inverted L, sloper, inverted V” at “four different elevations” squeezed into my Courtyard Villa. I finished up with my flagpole vertical and while the End Fed performed fairly well, I wish I had run the entire contest with the flagpole.

I ran an IC-7300 at 100 watts and manually logged into N3FJP contest software. The key was a Vibroplex Champion, circa 1968.

While most of my action was on 20 and 40, I was excited with the DX worked on 80 meters. Working the Azores, the Madeira Islands and the Slovak Republic on 80 meters was a hoot. All contacts were S&P.

Congratulations to all the other TVARC members who competed in this contest.
