[NCDXA] W3ICM Goals Met

[Phillip Barsky]

Congratulations Fred, Well Done!!!  That monster antenna of yours has been
your sidekick except on 80 chasing these awards.  I am just happy with my
300+ confirmed all band- Just missed 8Q7WM on 80 last night- my loop take
off angle for 80 meters limits its effectiveness to about 1500-2000 miles-
He heard me above the frequency of the fray but couldn't pull me out  Have
to try to get into the pileup little earlier than I did last night.  BTW he
switched to 40 but those conditions were much worse than the 80 meter
conditions where he was peaking S5-7 most of time I was chasing him
