Well, the band conditions were noisy with lots of static crashes Friday and Saturday night.
Sunday early evening, at the end of the contest, I wasn’t hearing crashes! Was running QRP into the ‘U’ shaped full length dipole. Not hearing as great as it should, Going to ask the neighbors to stretch it out across the upper yard next winter.

Thanks for the Mic Check W1XX. Think I found the hint to getting more Highs from the radio after two tries.

Conditions were good. Alpha-Delta was raised about 10 feet. Made a little difference re-hanging it.

Ran the FTdx10 at 5 Watts into the Tribander at 35 feet. Elevation here at the QTH is 548 Ft.

Band was real good Friday night. Heard some dx. Saturday night band was down till around 10 PM. Did a modification to the antenna Saturday afternoon in the rain. So now the feed point is at about 20 feet and the legs are at about 12 feet on the dipole. The dipole is set up in a ‘U’ pattern with the two 100 foot legs on the ‘U’ and the two 30 foot legs are at the feed point. Rough dimensions! See pics. Thanks for the points John, W1AN!
