Rig:  TS-870
Logging:  by TR

Antenna:

160m:    40m dipole -open wire
80m:     40m dipole -open wire
40m:     40m dipole -open wire
20m:     40m dipole -open wire
15m:     40m dipole -open wire
10m:     40m dipole -open wire



Best ever NAQP-CW, and best mults in any NAQP.  I did put up a
vertical at the last minute for 80 (and hopefully 160m) but it turned
out to be a dismal failure (like perhaps the coax wasn't connected!).  I
finished it during 1 1/2 hour off time I took.  Oh well.  The 40m
"dipole" worked well enough for S&P on 80m and got me k0rf, k0du and
k5kg (OK) on 160m!

Considering the antenna, the band that disappointed was 10m. I believe
it's just too long (the antenna) and you get that cloverleaf pattern.  If it 
was a two day contest I would have hung a 10m dipole up for day 2.

See ya next week in SSB!  Hopefully the antenna selection will have improved 
slightly!
