It was a pleasure to put 4U1UN on the air for this contest. This was a
modest effort with two ops, two rigs (only one with an amplifier) and
simple antennas. Building security limited the amount of time on the air
(21 hours), so we weren't on the lower bands as much as we would have
liked.
I know we were heard by a lot of stations we couldn't pull out. The fact
that the antennas are 500 feet above ground helps, but nothing works
like directivity. Both the antenna situation and activity will improve
slowly as time goes on.
Running 120 stations in a half hour on 40 Meters at 2 pm Sunday
afternoon was definitely a kick!
