Steve,

The attached log was achieved using the following station setup.

I used a Ten-Tec Argosy running 5 watts into a TAK-tenna 40 and a TAK-tenna 20. Both are mounted 20 feet up on a two section homebrew mast. Some of the SSB work was at 50 watts as that is all the rig will do.

The TAK-tennas were fed with 75 ohm double shielded coax. The tuner was an MFJ-949E.

For some of the DX work and a few net check-ins

I used the TAK-tenna 40 in a vertical configuration, 3 to 6 feet up with the cold tap pointed at the earth. In that configuration it worked surprisingly well for dx.
