Fun conditions but I had un-avoidable obligations that kept me from any sincere contest effort, I just got on to give points. Didn't take part in any pileups, just answered CQ's with nobody else calling them.
As others have mentioned, Saturday was much better and I was amazed how EU was killing it over here. There were some of the strongest 160 signals in, for me, quite a few years. I only worked 160, this is the band with the most reward, for me. Kudos to the HI-Z antennas for a real help on some of the weaker stations. Just for fun I tried the sloper alone for RX and intelligibility plummeted. Used the sloper and triangular on the sub Rx, for diversity with the K3s and that was a marked improvement. The circle 8 & triangular for diversity was a real window cleaning. Now to get rid of the local RFI and it'd be even better... Details, details. Have fun & 73, Gary KA1J _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
