TAC 2004 Soap Box

• K1-4 & Mosley antenna. Running off batteries. Not enough activity to stay on for four hours. Props not very good in any direction. Have tried to op this contest last couple of years and there appears to be no interest in it.      Wayne de W5KDJ

• Ron - thanks for the TAC sprint. Good fun.      Jim de W1PID

• Did not hear anyone on SSB, on 20, also looked around on 40 CW, but did not hear any TAC stations.  So it was 20 or nothing.      Steve Ray de K4JPN

• Operated old Ten Tec 509 outside with 1/2 wave and LDG tuner. Chilly and wet. Only operated 2 hours, and rain got serious around 2000Z. Good participation this year. Let's keep this contest!      John de W2AGN

• Decided to put in a full effort to help avert cancellation of the contest. But copy really was near impossible with static crashes and power line noise! I suppose the highlight was working several Europeans in their Field Day. Thanks to Ed for N3EPA QSO's on 20 & 40. BIG signal on both bands.      Bob de N4BP

• Only had about an hour of operating time but decided I would submit my log anyway. I just got the Argonaut V the day before so
  this was its maiden voyage.      Michael de VE3WMB

• Tnx for hosting nice event. The idea of TAC's for multipliers is a great one as it gives some value to working stations in the populated states over and over again. Some thought as to best time of year for the event may need to be thought thru, for best future success of the event, because I believe the concept of this contest is a winner!      Curt de WB8YYY 

• Last year I managed 5QSO and this year 8QSO (including HP1AC). Conditions not so good but I like the TAC contest very much. Hope to work all of you next year.      73's Krzysztof de SP9NSV

• I first learned about the TAC Sprint only about a week ago. I saw it listed in the ARRL's Contest Rate Sheet. I participated in the TAC Sprint Saturday and enjoyed the contest. I got a late start due to trying to make my logging program accommodate this contest -- finally gave up on that.  Thank you for sponsoring this event.  It was fun.      73, Gary de K9MMS

   

• Thanks for organizing the contest again this year. I was too busy to operate, but I did manage to find a few minutes for one contact. I heard you calling CQ and tried calling you 2 or 3 times, you were getting part of my call, but not enough for a full contact. I am looking forward to next year.      73, Mike de W7SST
