Mostly this was an effort to get the station ready for the winter. I took Friday
afternoon off to put up an inverted L for 160. Only one radial, tuned to ~1910
khz. Still work to do there.
Couldn't work on the 80m L until Saturday morning - which turned out to be a
train wreck. I believe that my tower/antennas are too close to being resonant
on 80m resulting in terrible SWR. My bit of modeling did not show that (but I
didn't spend much time modeling the tower):

So, not having 80 was disappointing and 10 didn't work out in Iowa. Lots of
room for improvement in the station, my operating skills, and some sunspots
wouldn't hurt.
