K4IQ / SOHP Unassisted VA - 17 hours operating time
636 qsos for 1736 points X 85 multipliers = 147,560
Equipment:
TS-870 es KW, Inv Vee @ 100ft. (95 degree apex), assorted Beverages.
Comments:
My first semi-serious effort at this one. I wanted to get a vertical system
installed on new mountaintop tower, but ran out of time last week, so used
the temporary Inverted Vee. Conditions were very noisy Friday nite, but
much better Saturday. I learned some things about balancing time between
searching and running, and also could have worked a few more multipliers, I
think, by staying up past 3 am, but had to get up with family both mornings.
Here's the breakdown: I was surprised to work more people in CA than any
other state except PA.
