IC756PRO3(INRAD) + Titan425
WT v3.21 on HP Omnibook XE3

     (160) 1/4-wave Sloper
   (40/80) Wire Dipoles in a drastic INV V configuration below tribander
           sharing the same feedpoint
(10/15/20) Optibeam OB16-3 @ abt 40m total height (on a university building
           with 17m crank-up tower on roof), broken rotor
           Butternut HF6V

I gave my best to get this station ready for SOAB but all I had was a 1-radio
setup with a broken rotor. Decided to take it easy and use packet to boost
the score. Never found myself napping so often, even during the better
rate times.  

A thank you goes to DK9IP & DF1MA for their attempts to repair the rotor,
my dad DJ1DB for helping out with the station setup and the very welcomed
warm meals, and my YL for putting up with a contester.
 
CU all again next year!
