1st homebrew on 144, 1st overall on 220, 1st 2nd and 4th overall on 432.
The first place antenna on 432 was not usable under any normal
circumstances, and was physically a kludge. 1st on 144 and 4th on 432
were meant to be in a 2x2 array, but work adequately alone.

yeah, but can you build a 160 thru 10 contra-wound end-fire helical that has
a VSWR less than 2.5 to1 over that range, fits in a shoebox, and has 9+ dBi
gain???? :-)
