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!
