Comments:

This was a shakedown cruise -- first time in an all-band contest
since moving to this QTH 3 years ago. The station and antenna farm
still very much under construction!

The 20-meter monoband amplfier smoked right at the start. Lost a couple
of hours trying to repair to no avail (likely a bad tube, but outta 
spares). Finally jury-rigged the 80 meter amp to work on 20,
but it was only about 100 watts better than the exciter alone.

Rigs: FT1000MP, TS940S, IC706Mk2
Antennas: 160: 100-ft. vertical, 600-radial field, Beverages for RX
           80:  1/4 wave vertical wire hung from 160m vertical, Beverages.
           40:  HyGain Explorer 3-el yagi at 82 feet, fixed on Eu.
                1/4 wave wire vertical hung from 160m vertical.
            20: HyGain 204BA at 98 feet, fully rotatable.
            15: Wilson 4-el. 15m at 25 feet, fixed on Europe.
                (at midday Saturday we loosened the side-mount clamps
                 and put a rope on the boom so we could swing to JA,
                 then back to Europe in the morning)
             10: HyGain 105BA (optimized), sidemounted at 55 feet 
                 (South America left out)
