[LCC] Fwd: SS CW W5RU(@KN5O) Multi-Op HP

[Steve Lott]

I thought before I worked KP2RUM that I was not going to get a sweep
he was also my #82

with GTA being my last one

surprised your not yet running N1MM+
maybe your using an older set of cpu's ?

very much looking fwd to operating from you qth for phone
any thoughts on using a low hanging dipole for ten meters
or a loop antenna with higher take off angle ?

of course my bet is we will place higher in the top ten box than we did
last year at my qth
the icing for us was we made big news with the 1st sweep much thanks to
Mark chasing multips on the second radio
during the Saturday runs

scoring over 1k in q's this past week end had to be tough
you three did awesome !

I think a lot more cw ops quit to watch Sunday football, I did :)

cheers!
steve
