Well sometimes things just fall into place! I spent Tuesday, Wednesday and 
Friday on 54' crankup Tower. I installed a new 18' mast, made up of three 
pipes, 
2" aluminum on outside, with a steel pipe inside of it, and another alum. pipe 
inside of it, to give me a wall thickness of .400. Installed 2 thrust bearings, 
one-??2 feet below KT-36XA and the other 7 feet down in the tower with the 
rotor 
on its new plate 2' below that. The mast is 9 feet above the tower with the 
beam 
now at 60 feet! Even the shunt feed on tower for 160 didn't need any teaking, 
flat @ 1.850! Amazing!? I was really motivated for this contest. I decide to 
operate Low Power SSB?to see if I could give ED- N1UR a run for the money! He 
always does well from Vermont, yes in New England! So here it goes- 1) Beat his 
score from last year. 2) Best low power score ever for me. 3) Will have to wait 
to see how he did this year. Totals : 160-5/2/3 ? 80-58/11/21?? 40-371/21/25? 
?20-777/25/34? 15-101/15/16? 10-22/6/5.? 134/80/104? 671,784 pts.? 23 hours 
butt 
in the seat! Mark W4SVO
