11/20/2008 | KI9A Had a blast, only spent about 17 hours on, but managed over 1000 QSO's, and a sweep. Equipment is ICOM 756Pro3, Heath SB1000 @ 700 watts, an open wire fed 135' long dipole at 50', Cushcraft A3 tribander @ 25', and a GAP Voyager vertical for the low bands. The dipole is new, and REALLY worked well. The big GAP had the upper hand out past 8-900 miles. Had my 3 year old Grandson, Aidan, come into the shack a few times, and is a future op..no doubt. He loves to spin the dial, and call CQ into the Heil Proset.

73 & thanks for the QSO's!
