The bottom line:

N4OGW EM78 (actually in 4 land for once)
255 q's
693 x 2 = 1386 pts (x2 mult for 100w)
7 hours

Icom 735 + Saturday night special antennas


Spent saturday putting up an inverted L (top ~80 ft up in tree) and 
one beverage (to eu) out at the family farm. Barely got things running 
by sunset. Was amazed how much the bev. helped (never used one before)...
could hear lots of EU, but they couldn't hear me! Managed to work 4 
europeans. Static got steadily worse until 5:30Z,  when a thunderstorm 
broke out! Gave up for the night and went to bed.

(now N4OGW/9 again)
