   Hi Al!

    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!
