Comments:
Found a lot of antenna problems too late, fortunately friends K1TO and N4KM
helped fix enough of them to allow an effort...
Ended up replacing several feedlines and then found a major one that was hosed
(water cam out of it when undone at the base of the tower, ouch!) - this same
antenna was working fine in WW SSB, phone operation must have broke it! The main
15 meter antenna was not working, had to use a beam fixed on Europe (as in the
only SS QSOs in that direction are in Dayton Beach) - could tell 15 was hot but
unfortunately could not do battle serious there...
40 never took off like usually does in SS - probably got there too late since 20
was carrying the load...
NA performed flawlessly again in SS - think this is like 10 or 12 SSes in a row
using it with no crashes... never changed the mult file, since we missed VY1JA
for the second year in a row it did not matter!
Wait til next year...
Thanks K1TO for replacing rotor on the 40, etc - and N4KM for doing the ten
meter feedline... dunno what I would have done without their help.
