Comments:
Given the antenna situation here, I'm mostly pleased with this running of the
contest. I did fall short of my goal of 800 QSOs.
I didn't get started until 1940Z and by then there was almost nothing on 10. 20
offered some good rate for a couple of hours. I probably went to 40 a bit late
and 40 seemed to peter out very early, driving me to 80.
80 proved problematic. I could S&P OK, but when I tried to run I discovered
something in the remote tuner for the tree-mounted Inverted L was getting hot
and sending the VSWR through the roof. That one should be a **lot** of fun to
find and fix! With this problem I had to content myself with S&P operation for
the rest of the contest. I was surprised that anybody could hear me on 160, but
most stations came right back when I called them.
On to bigger and better results in the summer running.
73...
