03/22/2005 | W4ZV I thought this was a really interesting note I got from Mori-San JH1GVY about his single band 160 entry using a station in his car and portable inverted-V antenna! I could not believe my ears when he sent "599050" and the other JA's I worked were using much more power. This is true dedication if I ever saw it!

"Dear Bill,

this is Mori(Susumu Morioka/Mr.) JH1GVY.

Thank you for your e-mail and QSO in the contest.
Yes, my output power is 50W.
I got a new state, North Carolina, with our QSO it was very happy for
me.

That time, my antenna was inv.-V 20 meters high of top.
It direction of wire was east to west.

QRV.
