John:
I have mainly been using the Alpha Delta DXCC for this particular contest.
Tried the cobra for a while, and found the DXCC to do the best on 10.

Great job, Tom. I made several dozen contacts earlier today on both phone
and CW without really trying. Great to hear the band so full. I was about
to say I'd never hear you or Steve but then, you never know. It is 10,
after all. 73. Lou
