Comments:

FT1000MP, Alpha 91b, 1 KW, TH6DXX, zepp, dipole, inverted vee.  Band condtions
pretty good on 80 through 10M.  80M seemed a bit weak to the west coast.  Never
heard NL or NT.  Had a lot of problems Saturday with my amplifier.  Some RF
feedback was getting into the protection circuit and shutting it down
frequently.  Operated for a while barefoot.  Then figured out that the problem
almost never occurs if I turn off the QSK.  I feel QSK is very important in
contests, particularly SO1R.  But, it was better to have the amp and no QSK
since I had started in the High Power class.  Thanks for all QSOs.  Nice to
hear a lot of fairly recently licensed ops QRV this year.  Some of this is, no
doubt, due to the CW Teaching program of the CWOps Club.  A few more QSOs this
year than last and I operated the whole 24 hours last year.  This year, we had
high winds and were without electrical power for about an hour and 40 minutes
Sunday morning.  73, John, K4BAI.
