News: This was officially my last contest from this qth. I start the build of
new qth (Summer/Weekend/Contest Qth) this summer 100 miles north of my home in
the Catskill mtns. Lee WW2DX, Bobby KC2UPN (my son) and I will be busy building
this station during the 2010 year!

I hope to have a modest setup for CQWW SSB 2010. In 2011-2101 the station
should be complete with multiple towers!!!
Contest: I was not prepared for this test at all, I had no sleep before the
test and did not run through the equipment before the test. I normally check
everything before the start.
Basically, I had amp issue right at the beginning of test. AL-1500 PS went
down! No back up amp! So, I was SO1R. No mult station.
The top 20M yagi in the 4/4 stack was not working. Used a the bottom 4EL @ 64ft
for running. I had many reports about the big sig in Eu.
It must have been high all angles on 20M, this explain 1600 Q's on 20 with on
4EL @ 64ft.
I was SO1R and no 20M stack. Big disadvantage!
I was going to quit, but after I had back to back 200+ hours on 20M 6-8am (444
Q's), I realized the bottom 20 was humming by itself!
Big surprise!!
I would guess, I missed 25 mults and 250 q's without 2nd radio. However, I am
pleased with my last effort from my this qth!
