"Wining" contest op...hihihi!  I have no antenna farm here in Rayville or
anywhere.  I live in the middle of the golf course here in Rayville. All I
have at this time is a ground mounted SteppIR vertical and a fairly good
radial system.  This makes my station very difficult.  I have all the noise
from the vertical and I hear from all 360 degrees.  That doesn't stop me
from contesting. And my K3 makes it work.  I can hear through the noise and
seperate the signals very well.  And having owned an Icom and FT-1000MP Mark
V, I know what hears better under these tuff conditions.  Maybe someday I'll
get to operate at a real contest station.  As long as I can bring my K3.
hihihi

I had a contester tell me once that nobody with a 3 element tri-bander at 50
feet could WIN a contest.  I agree.  I also say that even if you are the
loudest station on the air in order to WIN a contest you still need to hear
all the 3  element tri-banders on the air.  QSO's mean points. You aren't
going to do that with a good receiver.  You need the best receiver to back
up that loud voice.  If you truely want to WIN.
