    a decent qth and set of antennas. Mostly it was local qsos (under 400 miles) except for saturday night (Dec. 9 0200 0330z ) when from Utah I had some great openings into TN, GA, FL,... Read More

    Same as most ops I was looking forward to the contest, but shortly after it began I thought there was a problem with my antenna. So I switched from the vertical to the 40 meter horizontal... Read More
