Comments:
Contest went very well. No computer, equipment, or operator problems. Setup
was a breeze - I got there at 1615 and was ready to go in about 15 minutes. No
problem staying focused - seems like my attention has tended to wander in
contests the last year or so - not good.
Only things I weren't happy with were a lot of unsuccessful multiplier moves to
the high bands and despite 159/41 on 160 meters, I think I'm weak on transmit
there. The number is deceptively high because there were plenty of loud east
coast stations and I was there early because 20 was just stinky. I never did
work W7IZL in MT who told me two different times I was too weak to copy despite
his being S7, and it took a while for a QSO with K5TA in NM as well. The 160
vertical and the N4KG antenna appear to be about equal on close in stuff within
a few hundred miles. Further out, the vertical wire has about 1 to 2 s-units
advantage over the KG.
