2005 ARRL 10m Contest

Huntsville State Park, TX

KM5VI and N5LYG ventured to the park for a little 10m activity. The bands where better than we expected. We mustered about 597 q's on 3 dipoles for 117,944 points. We had 1 10m dipole, a 10m sterba (that rocked) and a 10-80m folded dipole. The SB221 supplied the horse power we needed to be heard. The station consisted of an Icom 706, MFJ power supply, IBM T30 laptop and the sb221 amp. We could only squeeze out 800 watts on 10m but we figured that was enough to be heard.

Thanks to all who worked us. You can qsl to KM5VI. He's good in qrz.com.
