I DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO DEVOTE TO THIS RUNNING OF THE STEW PERRY DISTANCE CHALLENGE,
BUT I HAD FUN MAKING A FEW QSOS SATURDAY EVENING AND LOOKING WEST AT MY SUNRISE FOR
STATIONS OUT ON THE COAST.  NO EUROPEANS WERE HEARD.  I WAS AGAIN VERY IMPRESSED
WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RX IMPROVEMENT PROVIDED BY A 220 FOOT E-W COAX BOG USING
THE BEVFLEX-4X SYSTEM.  THE FRONT-TO-BACK RATIO WAS SO GOOD THAT IT WAS EASY
TO MISS LOUD SIGNALS.  I NEED TO REWORK MY SYSTEM SO THAT I CAN LISTEN IN
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS IN EACH EAR.  K7RAT WAS AUDIBLE FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR
AND TWENTY MINUTES PAST MY SUNRISE.
