| W6QU | SO QRP 10M | AT THIS STAGE OF THE CYCLE: QRP ON 10 METERS WAS STILL PRETTY EXCITING. 77% OF MY 74 QS WERE IN SOUTH AMERICA. MANY THANKS TO ALL THE ARGENTINE STATIONS WITH THEIR MANY PREFIXES! |
| W8EHH/4 | SO LP ALL | 15 MTR WAS FAR THE BEST BAND THIS TRIP ARROUND |

| WF6C | MSH | THE STATION HAS ONE CHAIR: ONE MICROPHONE AND ONE COMPUTER. IT IS CAPABLE OF RAPID BAND CHANGES BUT WRITELOG AND DX DOUBLER ENSURE THAT ONLY ONE TRANSCEIVER CAN TRANSMIT AT A TIME. THERE WERE NEVER TWO OPERATORS LISTENING OR TRANSMITTING AT THE SAME TIME. |
| WM5R | SO LP ALL | THE ANTENNA SYSTEM I HAVE AT HOME LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED. IN THEORY: IT IS A 40 METER DIPOLE AND A 20 METER DIPOLE SHARING A COMMON FEEDPOINT JUST A LITTLE ABOVE MY ROOF (MAYBE 25' - 30' ABOVE GROUND) BUT IN PRACTICE THE ANTENNA IS ONLY VAGUELY RE |
| WO8CC | SA HP ALL | SUNDAY WAS CERTAINLY A SURPRISE. LAST HOUR ON 40 WAS GREAT. THANKS TO N8NR FOR THE USE OF THE CALL. |
