Well, yeah, I think I did pretty good on the repeater roundabout. I just got my log sent in here when I was going over that, and after subtracting the duplicates, I got 324 contacts. I'm pretty sure KP7SDM got quite a bit more than me, but we'll see who has more multipliers, I guess. Let's see, I worked 70 repeaters, 37 of those for 70 centimeters. So I got the band out multiplier on that band. But I only worked 27 2-meter reproducer, so I wasn't able to get a multiplier there this year. And I was hoping to get more, too, more 1 and 1-quarter meter repeaters. I only got four of those, even though I have a 50-watt radio this year. I need to see about getting a better antenna put up. I've got the stack of aluminum in my closet that is going to become a one and a quarter meter goggy, a five element one. But I need to get that and hopefully that will help out a bit because I was getting into some of the repeaters fine earlier in the day and then I was getting multipath in the evenings on the 220. So, now it's just using a J-pole and it's only set up temporarily, even though it's been there. But it is currently zip-tied to the railing of my deck, so I need to get a tool that's actually permanently installed, and I can make the coax quite a bit shorter then, too. But, that's all I got for now. 73, everyone. AG7LR, back to Ned.
