Another great time in the fastest four hours in radio and a new personal best
for me but shy of my goal of breaking 200 Qs. Saturday morning I got everything
set up with the stealth 40 dipole at 25 feet in the yard to supplement the
attack 20 meter dipole in the attic. Took my YL out to an early matinee and
dinner and was home with 50 minutes remaining before the start. Looking at the
80 meter dipole still in storage I knew I needed that one too and it was growing
dark so I could get it into the yard also although its a bit of a challenge on
my small lot in a highly restricted area. After dropping a few screws in the
grass while attaching the 80 dipole I got it up with about 20 minutes remaining.
I'm glad I did cause after making a good start on 20 I moved to 40 and promptly
began to get beat up by terrible QRM/QRN. Being able to find a few Qs on 80
helped out and took me to a new personal best. Thanks to all the great ops who
were able to copy my anemic signals with very few repeats. I'll be back in
September to mount another try at 200 Qs. 73s, Chuck, NO5W
