12/28/2007 | VE7CA Again, the ARRL 160 contest is a blast. More contacts and more sections and a new country RW0 with 100 watts from my home-brew transceiver, the HBR2000. My antenna is a very odd shaped full wavelength loop, 85 ft straight up, 110 ft. horizontal then slopping down to the rear fence at 6 feet and around to the feed point hung between a 100 foot douglas fir and 90 foot cedar tree. For receiver I used my 40 meter dipole and a 35 ft random noise antenna with my noise canceler to dig out the weak ones.

Sure good to hear the ole guys hammering away and lots of new guys as well.
