    I decided to try single band this time around, and I was not disapointed.
    20 meters was excellent both Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
    The 14 foot rotatable dipole worked great for me. Changing the direction here and there for the hard to reach Q's.

    It took alot of listening to alot of static to pull out multipliers this year with the terrible propagation! Hopefully next year will be a repeat of the days when the whole world was available. Nothing better when 10 meters opens up. Several opening... Read More

  • W3EF the morning after the contest -- back in the chair!

    elements on my only full... Read More
