[LCC] low band antenna experience

[Don Hill AA5AU]

If a contester can't win with a tribander at 50 feet, then how do explain some guy in Harvey, Louisiana winning 17 World titles in
the ARRL RTTY Roundup Low Power, one World Single Op High Power and one World Single Op Low Power in the CQWW RTTY Contest, three
World low power single op wins in CQ WPX RTTY, six NAQP RTTY wins, not to mention a world single op win in the JARTS and BARTG
Expert Class and three World WAE RTTY wins?
 
You can win with tribanders!!!
 
Just messing with you but some guy did actually do that with a tribander at 65 feet, then after Katrina at 55 feet.  He did have
another tribander at 45 feet too...

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.
