Comments:

This was actually a Single-Op operation by me alone using a local Skimmer which
required entering the Multi-Op category. It isn't fair that Single-Op stations
using a skimmer must enter the Multi-Op category because true Multi-Op stations
have two or more operators with somebody at the radio all the time. It would
have been great to have a second operator for times that I needed a break. I
would have loved to take a short nap which is possible in a true Multi-Op
station without losing any contacts.The solution for fixing this inequity is to
add a Single-Op Assisted category. Hopefully this will be added to the rules in
the future.

The rig is a K3 with an Acom 2000A amplifier. The transmitting antenna was a
top-loaded 54 foot vertical with 60 full-size radials.  Receiving was with 6
Beverages covering all important directions together with the transmitting
antenna in true-diversity mode.

The band was quiet, and conditions were good to most of the world except
Europe. I called several Europeans (YO, I, CT, EA), but none heard me.
Someday,
I'll finish the 8 element circle array for Topband, and then, hopefully, I'll
be able to work most of the stations that are heard.
