*Approximate* band stats:
80 - 446
40 - 121
20 - 225
15 - 46
I realize this doesn't add up -- don't have the band splits with me.
896 x 78 = 139,776
My first sweep ever from my own station. Also the first time I've had
resonant, coax-fed, antennas for all bands. First time the computer stuff
worked properly throughout the contest. Did get worried about 1300Z when
the rig went deaf -- thankfully, it was just a shorted footswitch...
Finished the sweep with KH6 about 1700Z; KL7 and NNY were the 2nd and 3rd
last. 40 seemed too long; couldn't hold a run frequency. 80 was the prize
band.
Gear: Kenwood TS-680 (NOT an adequate contest rig, hope my 940 gets back
soon!)
Force C3 @ 65'
40m dipole @ about 20'
