11/19/2008 | KB1NRB What a BLAST!!! My first sweepstakes,and i worked 65 sections. rig is a Yaesu 857 feeding a g5rv @25'.. It was great to hear stations up and down all bands from 20 - 80 meters. Completely a search and pounce effort here. worked 45 states in under 24hrs. Anyone who wants to start contesting on HF, here is where to start.. -- KB1NRB
