[TVARC] K2TE, CQ WPX CW, SOAB HP

[k2te at juno.com]

Here is my tally for 8.5 hours, all S&P.  I spent more time on 20 than I
expected due to when I had time to operate.  40 was very good Friday
night and I imagine just as well Saturday night.  15 continues to be a
bust for me due to a very high noise level (S5+).  I think the 15M coil
in the 6BTV went south (uh, north?).  I'm thinking of rigging a 15M
vertical dipole in the tree out front.  I can run the wire down the house
side of the tree hidden from the street and the trolls.  I can run the
coax along the ground without worry about chopping it up with the mower. 
I hope the squirrels don't eat it.

Good luck to those planning for the VHF contest.  I'll see everyone at
the Field Day gathering.
