06/25/2002 | KF9YR USED A GAP VERTICAL WITHOUT A TUNER, AFTER 4 CONTACTS WITH VERY PATIENT OPERATORS I DECIDED MY OMNI VI FINALS WERE MORE IMPORTANT THAN A CONTEST SCORE... I AM GETTING A TUNER FOR CHRISTMAS SO I'LL BE ABLE TO LOAD UP A BETTER ANTENNA NEXT YEAR!!! I HOPE SMC WIN THE TEAM CONTEST BY 4 QSO'S! -- KF9YR
