Station #3 was John Unger's Ten-Tec Ommi VI HF Transceiver, an antenna tuner, a Laptop Computer running TR Log and his 40M delta loop fed with coax cable. Twelve-volt deep-cycle batteries powered the radio and computer. John says, "I had help from Mike - WØYR and Gabe - KF4YBW to put up the telescoping mast and delta loop antenna. Denny - KF4TJI loaned the station a deep-cycle battery to make sure that we made it through the night without any problems. And, Charlie - K4LJH contributed his home-brew band-pass filters for the 40-meter and 20-meter CW stations, which help reduce interference between the two nearby locations.

This station operated on 40-Meters CW only. Forty is the premier band for domestic contests and communications. It's open all the time. It's fun working 40M. There were six 50+ QSOs hourly rates logged and several 40+ ones.

As always, you can count on a great count from this station. The numbers are 'best ever' this year: 860 QSO and 1720 contact points. A very nice job by everyone who helped on 40M Charlie Whiskey.
