From: Balmforth, Kevin D
Subject: Sprint SSB de NC6U
To: CQ CONTEST
Finished with 247 x 46, with the following breakdown:
20 - 121 Qs
40 - 78 Qs
75 - 48 Qs
I'm coming to the conclusion that my 20m performance stinks - apparently the
13 element Collins log periodic doesn't quite cut it on 20m with only about 6
dB gain. Speaking of breakdowns, my venerable 2K-2 began powering down
intermittently after 1 hour into the contest. A quick smack on the side
usually brought it to life again. Good thing 3-400Z'z are quick heating!
Thanks for the Qs - 73, Kevin NC6U
