03/11/2009 | EI4CF/P I used the same set up as that of the 2009 CW Arrl test. However, I found I could not hold a frequency for very long and had very few good runs. The 2 el quad behaved well, and the Icom 7800 performed wihout a fault. The quad was again beside the sea at Fanore in county Clare, overlooking Galway Bay and the Aran islands. Wx was very stormy, and I packed things in early on Sunday evening when thunder and lightning appeared. I managed to improve on my score of last year, but I will have to improve my frequency holding skills!! -- EI4CF
