What a great way to spend a weekend!

Thanks to my xyl, KD0JHX, I was able to finish my loop installation Saturday;
however, it caused me to be late to the dance by 40 min.  Performance on 40 and
80 indicated that was a good investment of time!  Antenna farm is now the loop
(close to 1000' @ 40'), a G5 @ 40' and a Hexbeam at 30'.  These all played nice
and gave me a good indication of each of their strengths.  I did end up with a
sweep when ONN popped up Sunday evening on 40m.  I saw that he was on most of
Sunday on 20m but the propigation was not working for me then. Anyhow, this was
a great example of contest planning and strategy.

This was my 3rd outing with the K4, and every experience nearly doubles my
knowledge of the rig and helps me get more out of it.  What an amazing piece of
kit.

Propigation was ok, but 40m was clearly the money band (again), though 80 did
surprisingly well too.

Thanks to the ARRL for organizing this clam dig and to all the ops who
participated.  It was fun to talk with old friends and make some new
acquaintances.  

Now onto planning Thanksgiving!

73 es God Bless,
