    Becase my 3 Element SteppIR is down for repair I worked the club station W1NRG Saturday and Sunday. We ran Multi two with a run station and also had a multi station on the air. About 10 operators participated.

    Hope to have the SteppIR up for the WAE RTTY contest the second weekend in November. Also putting an MFJ-1775 dipole on the tower at the top at about 65 feet. May give me 40 meters for the first time in many years and my first actual tuned 40 meter antenna.

    Hope to work you all!

    We were here:

    There is a maintenance building on the foot of the tower.
    We were multiop with 4 operators.

    Colleague had the idea to build a 160m dipole at 3 o clock in the night. Actually worked nicely!
