My only antenna is a 3/8wl 20 meter flagpole.  The flagpole is such a mismatch on 10 mtrs that I can only squeeze out 60 watts.  On 20 I can and did use the legal limit.  Yet, I had more QSO’s and multipliers on 10 than 20.  That is a testimony to what great shape 10 was in over the weekend. Between the 2 bands, I had at one time or another fairly decent copy on 6 potential new countries for my Villages Mixed DXCC.  Yet, I was unable to break the pileup on any of them.  The 6 were V8, HL, VR, YJ0, 9V and BY.

Congrats to all of you TVARC’ers who achieved the great scores I have been seeing.  See you next year!  73 de John, W4GD
