There was not enough time to set up a 2nd radio, and I had not really planned to do so. To my surprise 80m was the stronger band - even without a real high angle antenna. Condx on 40m were quite strange with loud stations from just a few focused areas. Many, many watery signals. Congratulations to DK3WW and DL6RAI! 73, Stefan DL1IAO@contesting.com http://www.dl1iao.com
