W1KM MULTIOP CQ160 CW
qso's 1379 s 57 c 63 total 798,240
Operators: K1JKS, W1FJ, W1KM
TS-930s, LK-550Z, 70' Vertical (in saltmarsh) and beverages
I always wanted to do this contest but felt I couldn't hear well enough
No question the beverages made the difference. The West beverage was
put up on Friday, only about 400' feet long and I think we have the wrong
material for transformer core but still helped loads with US
The NE beverage is about 550' long and I knew it worked great on 80 but
it pulled in lots of weak Europeans (488 total)
We had a ferocious storm Saturday night but the band stayed remarkably
quiet and the Europeans kept trickling through.
Unfortunately no JA's which would have been a first.
Biggest signals from EU I heard were RA3AUU and EI6BT .
73, Greg
