1.25M     EL98       1
.70M      EL98        1      right next to w2bzy qth- 15 element beam was 
kaput from the getgo



               That's a significant amount of miles for a few contacts.

6m   inverted Vee   ic706- worked sort-of. next year a pipe dipole
2m   moxon antenna copper pipe special ic706- worked well
1.25 m  copper tube quad kluged together late saturday night  ft746-worked 
well
.70 m  15 element beam with feed failure.  ft746

no 1.2 GHz because I blew receive mixer with antenna too close to 6m beam. 
Next year!

Next year:         a few more bands with antennas tested before use in 
contest.

Any suggestions? Would notifying flwss of schedule have helped?

I only drove off I10 once, keeping the log. Tnx for the rumble strips.

John the elder
