END-OF-LOG:

* All call signs can be looked up on qrz.com. I think I did OK for a rookie in SSB contesting. I probably won’t be winning any awards for this effort, it was a casual effort going in, decided to file it anyway with the ARRL. I would like to thank HEIL SOUND for making the HM-10 Dual Microphone and TL-2T Boom with both the HC-4 “DX Dream Machine” element and the HC-5 full-range element, and Kenwood for making the TS-480SAT 160m - 6m HF Transceiver (100 watts out of the box.) Also the antenna by Hustler - 6BTV - 6 band vertical. Ground mounted, some sodium bentonite (improves grounding), and some ground radials.
