-------------------------
TOTAL 920 1843 X 75 multipliers = 138,225
Club or Team Name: None (Expired Mad River)
Equipment: FT-1000MP, Alpha 91b
TX Antenna: Inv-L (40-feet vertical, ~100 radials)
RX Antenna: K9AY Array (Saturday only)
I wasn't planning to participate, and had the Beverages
and other receiving antennas were all rolled up in the
basement. I had no receive antennas installed for the first
night, and got the K9AY Array up late Saturday. I barely
got the radials deployed for the transmit antenna. Started
operating around 0400Z and ran to daybreak the first night,
and didn't start again until after 0200Z the second. I took
a "break" (dozed off) from 0700Z to 1100Z.
Hardly a dedicated, 'prime time' operation! I decided to
just CQ and take what came: missed NL, AB, NWT, AK, PR, and
only one DX heard or worked (J6A).
