150 QSOs between 1 and 6 UTC: "I didn't expect anything else", he
says, "my signal was very weak with such setup (GP for 20 and 15m,
copper wire into the water as radials, 100 watts, battery powered,
no tent, no shelter, no normal table/chair)". Under such circum-
stances, activity during the IOTA Contest weekend "would be point-
less".

KO4BUR on the mic) during the contest. QSL direct to home call; the
