    Results

    I'm stunned.

    ARRL just released online the results of the 2012 DX CW contest. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Conte...XCW-Web-V2.pdf

    I figured my team was going to take WPa Section again. But Division?

    Holy schneikes.

    Next think you know, the big guns will begin to think I know something & start asking for my input. Isn't that a scary thought?

    You must have full legal amps, full sized 160M beams, and a TS-2000 (Or equivalent), right?

    Hah hah hah hah!
    Thanks, I needed that.

    Ten-Tec Omni VI+. (Corsair II as the backup, but I ended up not needing it). No amp. (I do now own a pre MFJ Ameritron AL-84, but it's still sitting on the shelf pending a shack remodel)

    Butternut HF-6V except on 160; 160 is a half-assed inverted 'L'

    No tower. No beam. (OK, I do have a 3 element Mosley sitting in the garage in pieces, but it's going to need a LOT of TLC before it ever sees the skies again... if ever)

    Now, I'll admit that Multi Single Low Power isn't exactly the largest entry category in the contest... but most everyone else who seriously enters in it has at least a tri-bander, probably a couple of slopers or other multi-wire antennas for the low bands. And they most likely live on top of the hill, not at the base of it. So...

    The only thing "big gun" about my station is the 4-element 15m beam. Of course, it's only up 25 feet above ground level. In a number of cases, the big dipole @ 60 feet beats or matches the beam on 15m, but only in certain directions. The beam helps with the nulls of the dipole.

    Wire is my friend.
