This Past Weekend

We were just finishing up moving out of the apartment into the house, but I was able to spend a little time on the air and make a few contacts in several little contests.  The antenna was the Par End-Fedz 10/20/40 hung as a sloper.  Rig was 5w from an FT817.  In addition to the handfull of QSO party contacts, I worked a radio celebrity (W1VT, Zack Lau, an ARRL staffer) and three new QRP DXCC countries, including SU - first call!

The annual Shelby hamfest is next weekend.  I'm hoping to pick up some antenna supplies to go along with the 2500' of wire my ol' hoarder buddy N4OX is sending me.  Need to get up some better wires before the contest season, which is fast approaching!
