[LCC] ARRL 160m CW contest

[K1DW at aol.com]

LCC et al, 
 
The weather always makes 160 M a crap shoot...  100 Qs at  100 watts with a 
puny antenna took lots of work.  Was worried about  Zeus sending a 
lightning bolt my way.  
 
Read posting on 3830scores and there is talk about both  transmitting and 
copy antennas.  The point is, to be good on 160 both  antenna types are 
needed.  
 
Congratulations to KN5O with his Morris Bart antennas, "One  call .. Thats 
all "
 
Hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
 
73 CU in the next one .. de k1dw

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  !

I was in and out  of the contest and only made 202 contacts. I was entered 
as HP Unlimited.  Condx were excellent Friday night but the approaching 
storms made for rough  copy last night and this morning.

It was nice to get on even  though it was part time and with not much of an 
antenna for  transmit
 

 
Using just a slopper and no  radials under it
 
hung on a tilt over device  that looks like something out of Junk Yard  Wars
 

 
176  Q's
 

 
Goal was to work all 50  states on the 160 meter band from the new QTH
 
Missed KL7, CT, ID, OR and  South Carolina !
 

 
Worked Ted  KN5O
 
and he had one of the  better signals
 
as compared to others from  The Ark-La-Tex
 

 
Worked N8OO, but I think he  sees me as still in LA
 
and did not hear my NTX  report  :)
 

 
Some of the guys out west  (Oregon for one)
 
had really big signals but  were not hearing the masses that were calling  
them
 

 
Looked for AA5AU, KA5M and  others but missed ya all
 

 
cheers!
