Soapbox: With the help of neighbor N0HCH, I finally got the broken rotator
repaired, and replaced the broken coax, only 2 hours before the test began.
After 3 hours on the tower, I was sore, so it was sure nice to sit down!
Improved antenna this year, improved conditions, and same old operator.
In fact, conditions were terrific. I was able to run east coast stations on
CW for over an hour Saturday and on phone for over an hour Sunday. I only
called stations over S4, and all but three came back, sometimes on the first
call!
What a blast! Six meters will be like this soon, and next year, we won't get
a whole lot of sleep in this contest!
Thanks for your good ears!
Doug
