Total failure of the 80 meter antenna proved Tom's theory about light bulbs :-)
I worked 70 guys on 80 meters using my 160 meter inverted V and the internal
tuner in my TS-850 :-) Some kind of loose connection caused massive RFI on 40
meters, limiting me to 500 watts. Usually, 40 and 80 are my strongest bands -
not this time :-(
More QSO's on 160 than in any contest before - in fact probably more than my sum
total of lifetime 160 QSO's. Also roughly doubled my lifetime total of CW Q's
by making close to 700 in this one :-) Thanks to all who put up with my lousy
CW skills...
Participation from TCG and CCO was impressive! I had 113 ON QSO's and 71 TN
QSO's. 10% of my total QSO's were with those two mults. Wow!
The new two stack of 4 element SteppIR's performed flawlessly. I'm convinced.
K6IF was:
Orion + AL-1200
TS-850 + Alpha 76PA
All on one tower (see pics at www.k6if.com):
4 element SteppIR's at 38' and 73' for 'run' radio (either one)
2 element SteppIR at 55' for 'second' radio
2 element 40 at 85'
1 element 80 at 88' (not working)
1 element 160 w/ apex at 72'
Thanks to all for making this one so much fun. See you in SS!
***dan, K6IF
