K6SE 10-meter score
Category: CW only, S/O hi-power
1217 Qs, 58 W/VE mults, 42 DX mults, 488,800 points
in about 24 operating hours.
This was an antenna experiment. A computer-designed 4-el quad on a 24'
boom was hastily put up at 75' high two days before the contest. The
quad consistently outperformed my TH-6DXX at the same height on another
tower 136' away. The quad had at least a 2 S-unit advantage over the
TH-6DXX and its F/B & F/S were incredible. I always thought the TH-6DXX
was a good performer on 10m -- now I'm considering replacing it with a
tri-band quad!
The openings into EU from here in southern California were marginal --
nothing east of France appeared while I was on.
73, de Earl, K6SE
