Randy, KA5IIA was trying his home built 80meter ferrite antenna. He
and Michael, W2CVZ, had been talking about the project for few months
before the event. Michael was interested because he doesn't have an
80meter system, and he likes to build stuff. I don't think Randy was
very excited about its performance.
