CONDITIONS WERE GOOD FOR ME, I WORKED as many staions as i could hear, this
year I DID NOT have a beverage up for stateside, as in previous years, I found
the operators to be very friendly and accomondating. Had trouble with eu
stations (LOUD) wanting a qso, which i did give them, breaking any usa
contacts. Thrills were working Pacific stations at 579.....loud.... no
problems......see u all next year. ANTENA HERE IS INVERTED V AT 100FEET.
