Comments:
IMPROVED MY ANTENNA BY ADDING 10" OF SNOW AND ADDED A BEVERAGE WHICH MEANT I
COULD NOW HEAR MUCH FARTHER THAN I COULD TRANSMIT. LOW POWER ON 160 IS NOT
FUN BUT THE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE AMPLIFIER BEFORE THE CONTEST CONVINCED ME
NOT TO USE IT. I WAS SURPRISED THAT I DID WORK SOME DX. MY FIRST TRY USING
A BEVERAGE (LANCE JOHNSON ELBERT COUNTY PREAMP) AND I WAS SURPRISED HOW MANY
EU STATIONS I COULD HEAR (BUT MOST DID NOT HEAR ME). NEXT YEAR MORE BEVERAGES
AND A WORKING AMPLIFIER
TX ANTENNA - 1/4 WAVE VERTICAL
RX ANTENNA - 660' BEVERAGE NORTH EAST
RIG ICOM 765
