Just got the certificate today.
I wwon first place qrp indiana section in the arrl 160 contest for 2008.
Rig was a k3, antennas were a 90 foot half sloper fed against the 32 foot 
tower which anchors the feed point; and a doublet 120 feet long, with coils 
on each end made of 20 feet wire wound on a piece of 2 inch pvc conduit, 
with a 10 foot tail hanging at each end.  all in all 180 feet wire in the 
air, fed with 300 ohm window line to a 4:1 balun at the entrance to the 
shack.

Hard to believe with such puny antennas.  Thanks everyone who pulled me out.

Used the k3 auto tuner for everything.
