[LCC] ARRL 160m CW contest

[Steve Lott]

Yupp Last night was really rough here
played a bit this morning
and managed to get Hawaii and a couple of others
Even though my Goal was not met
I had fun and now have on my long list to get a pair of decent 160m
verticals
with a nice ground plane ready for next year

Found design for a radial laying tool to add to the tractor tools I have
now I just have to get it built

always a long list of things to do :)

cheers to all of the LCC OPS !
