Hector, I asked Chuck for his rundown. Here is his answer. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ
________________________________ Hi Cookie, you did not bother me at all during the contest. I was using an Icom 756PROIII with a Tentec Titan (the first version). On transmit, I shunt fed the 135' tower with a 70' gamma match made from old coax and a couple of capacitors. I used 2 elevated radials in opposite directions which I put in place and then trimmed for resonance by feeding each of them separately against ground. Receive was 4 Beverages. I think I will play some on 160 next weekend, but will still do 10 meters.
