CORRECTION!
Matthew King - AK4MK
I was mistaken in saying that a station can be worked more than once in the Triple Play or Doubleheader. The rules say "Work each station once per band" with no further guidance. The scorer appears to be set up to exclude multiple contacts to the same station on the same band within a contest, regardless of the time block one logs it in. I'm not sure how I really feel about that, but it's certainly too late to change the rules now. We'll look at the rule in the off season and determine whether to keep it in place or change it (we'll make sure the other contest's rules match as applicable) but the way it's written is the way it will remain for this year. For explicit clarification: "WORK EACH STATION ONCE PER BAND IN THE CONTEST, REGARDLESS OF WHICH TIME BLOCK IN WHICH THE STATION IS WORKED" Sorry for the confusion.... 73 Matt King AK4MK - 070 #1708 PODXS 070 Club Executive Director

I have the Zero Five 27’ vertical which does really well considering so I may order a 33’ or 43’ Zero five vertical and see if it is any better. Thanks again.

I hear the 43' verticals will load up OK on 160 with a good tuner. Just make sure it'll handle a pretty high SWR at a good duty cycle & power rating given that PSK-31/RTTY are 100% "on" as opposed to SSB and CW. 73 Matt King AK4MK - 070 #1708 PODXS 070 Club Executive Director

The 160m antenna wasn't much, but it was *something* at least... oh, well, a new one is slated to go up next year. 73 Matt King AK4MK - 070 #1708 PODXS 070 Club Executive Director On Sat, Dec 9, 2017 at 6:41 PM, JEFF WALSH <jeffwalsh1644@...> wrote:

Re: 070 Sprint
It sure does Matt and that is what I thought but wanted to make sure about that. Thank you very much. Don’t have the 160M capability so all I can do is 40 and 80 meters but that’s okay, I’m just in it for the fun of it anywho!!!
