Comments:
Busy afternoon with the ladder and chain saw. The inverted vee rope is tangled,
so I could not pull them up all the way. That changed the impedance so the SWR
was flakey. I cut some wire off the 40 meter antenna and one end was too high
so I climbed the tower a bit. It was the first time I climbed in about 6 years
and the first time since I started cancer treatments. I guess all the work with
the ladder and chainsaw was good exercise.
I checked cables inside the shack and used the amplifier again. I would like to
redo some coax cables that might be suspect.
at 0315Z had 44 QSOs. AT 0345Z had 117 and it got very slow so went to 80 for
the last 5 minutes and made 21 QSOs. I should have sensed the need for a band
change and still have a lot of inside the garage work with automated switching.
Tomorrow morning - up early to look for P29RO on 160.
