Comments:
Great fun with the high bands back in full swing.
Rainstorm gave us the typical trouble with precipitation static on the high
antennas at times, but at least we didn't get the snow that knocked out power
for several FRC stations in southeastern Pennsylvania. But we did hear that
storm even on the Beverages -- the ones toward Europe (on a line with the
snowstorm) all sounded like the precip static on the high yagis for a time
Saturday night. But the ones in other directions were quiet.

Single Elecraft K3 and Alpha 89 for this contest (no SO2R).
In the middle of a 20-meter run on Saturday afternoon, the amp kept tripping
off for no reason. Took 20 minutes to remove cover and vacuum the dust out and
then it worked fine the rest of the weekend.
Antennas: 160, parasitic vertical array. 80, single 75 ft vertical. 40, 3-el.
Hy-Gain Explorer yagi. 20, three-stack of 204BA's. 15, two-stack of Wilson 415m
4-el. 10, single Hy-Gain 105BA (modified W3XU design). Top yagis on each band at
100 ft. About 17 Beverage antennas for RX on the low bands.
