Big Guns And Little Pistols

Good morning from the shackadelic where anything is possible when running low power, low profile against the big guns. My first cup of CQ WW DX CW coffee is in hand and I'm scanning 20m at the moment. I enjoyed a little pistol start on Friday evening when 20m opened into South America and Asia. It was RadioSport fun bagging those zones and countries using my 3-band trapped vertical with 25 radials cut a quarter wavelengths.

You can see my current numbers at GetScores.

There is a beautiful Shell Beach sky beyond my sliding glass doors. A mix of sunshine with storm like clouds throwing a perfect glow of orange against the pine trees. The day is shaping up as expected rain then clearing off later in the afternoon.

Alright, now back to my wireless set and lots of RadioSport fun through the weekend.

Contest on.

P.S. The goal this weekend is high band operation only with my sights on 5 new DXCC counters.
