Hi Al!
01 Nov 2016 06:56, from Al Kaiser -> Richard Menedetter:
RM>> Anybody participated in the CQ WW DX contest last weekend?
RM>> Maybe we even had contact???
AK> Becase my 3 Element SteppIR is down for repair I worked the club
AK> station W1NRG Saturday and Sunday. We ran Multi two with a run
AK> station and also had a multi station on the air. About 10 operators
AK> participated.
We were here:

There is a maintenance building on the foot of the tower.
We were multiop with 4 operators.
AK> Hope to have the SteppIR up for the WAE RTTY contest the second
AK> weekend in November. Also putting an MFJ-1775 dipole on the tower at
AK> the top at about 65 feet. May give me 40 meters for the first time in
AK> many years and my first actual tuned 40 meter antenna.
Colleague had the idea to build a 160m dipole at 3 o clock in the night.
Actually worked nicely!
CU, Ricsi
