20/15M: 2el quad up 45ft
Guess 'ya gotta be horizontal on 40 for SS: my pair of WX0B-phased,
single radialed, figure-eight-patterned verticals gained me exactly ONE
more Q on 40 this year over a random wire through the trees at 18ft (95Q
in '95, now 96Q in '96). Should have taken the time to adjust the
doublet's feedline so I could match it on 40. But then the doublet on 80
only gained me seven Qs (from 31 to 38), so I was probably OK with the
end-fed wire on both bands.
SS is still The Greatest tho -- and when I work you same 500 people
again next year, you'll all have new calls, and it'll be EVEN BETTER!
Thanks for the Qs, everyone. Sorry about the 80M dupes -- massive
cockpit errors on my part running TRLog.

They took away my frequencies once, but they'll never take my call!
