Comments:
QSO number 100 came about 15 seconds before the end of the contest!
Mostly Hunt-n-Pounce, but ran the last 1.5 hours. Made a lot of spots as is my
usual practice.
Rig is ICOM-765 and IC2KL linear, about 300w.
I have a really crummy old Butternut vertical with 160m Resonator and 1 radial
on 160m; bandwidth is about 15khz and resonates about 10khz up from the bottom
of the band. I am not surprised that many strong stations could not hear me
calling them. Best DX was a GA station (W8JI). Worked all the the 6 & 7 area
sections. This past summer, the Squirrels ate through my skyhook that held up
the 160m Double L. It wasn't much good anyway. Gonna try some other wire
antenna I have laying in the garage (an Alpha Delta Sloper) on my 55ft tower.
I worked all the KBers I could find.
