Subject: [3830] W4ZV SOLP Stew Perry
From: btippett@CTC.Net (Bill Tippett)
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 18:47:12 -0500
263 QSO's (counting VP2MHJ as 1 point since he did not give grid)
904 (distance points) X 2 (low power multiplier) =  1808 score

Station:  FT-1000MP to 180' shunt-fed tower, 7 Beverages (580-1000')
DX:  2 Caribbean, 12 Europe, 2 Pacific
Longest DX:  FO0EEN
Operating time: approx 11 hours

First time in the Stew Perry for me...great format but awful conditions!
Heard lots of DX that could not hear me including 4X4NJ, ZS5K, 5H3US,
JH4UYB, RW3PZ, RW6BQ, LZ3AB, etc.  After this contest, I have tremendous
respect for the guys who regularly operate with low power on 160.  Thanks
to all the good ears out there that heard my weak signal!
