Comments:
Started on 15, with pretty good results. 20 was tough to crack, even with this
pretty nice beam and QTH, and didn't get much traction until dark and many had
abandoned it for 40. 40 was mediocre, thanks to a low inverted V, and 80 was
even worse, thanks to another low inverted V and an S8 noise level.
As a refugee from 9-land, it's clear to me that one of the biggest mistakes
west coast contesters make is not taking 80M antennas seriously, and putting
too much faith in aluminum for 40M.
73,
Jim K9YC
