240 qsos with 81 mults := 19,440 points.
The Texas heat must be getting to me, as I still can't believe that I
operated a phone contest. I guess that I need to convince myself just
how bad my home station is every now and then. My best antenna was my
attic mounted 20 meter dipole. The 4-BTV mounted on the chimney at 30'
with four 35' radials works ok on 40, but stinko on the rest of the
bands. I actually made 2 q's on 80 by loading it up through my tuner.
I still had fun, although the QRN won in the end. Thanks to all for the
qso's and for digging for my puny signal. Another rare KD5PJ home
station contest operation is now history.
