05/14/2005 | W6JV Living in a villa, with an association that does not allow antennas of any type on common elements, I headed for Sunset Beach Park in Tarpon Springs, Florida to operate the 2004 Sweepstakes.
Operating portable, a battery powered IC-706MkIIG, using vertical resonant feed-line dipoles for 10, 15 and 20 meters, mounted on fishing poles and a 33 foot MFJ mast, and only operating for about 6 hours on Saturday I was able to take First Place Single Operator Low Power Phone for the West Central Florida Section. All that time I thought that I was helping someone else with points. In the 2005 SS, maybe I'll operate from Honeymoon Island. Look out K4XS. Just kidding Bill.
