Living on a city lot with no room for receiving antennas makes this
contest a quite a challenge. I apologize to all those that I could
not dig out, there were quite a few. I was finally able to stay awake
for a full night/morning on Sat/Sun and was rewarded by getting a few
JAs, a first for me on 160. Alot of coffee, a bee pollen pill and
some nice condx helped in that regard. Must say that the DX window
seemed to be well respected. Actaully heard Europe on 160m for the
first time at this QTH although was unable to raise any of them. Lets
hope Santa brings me abt 10 acres for Christmas. Best of the holidays
to all and see you near the end of January.
