Murphy strikes again! The night before the contest, one of my amplifiers failed
while I was testing the 40 meter system. It was 1 AM so I decided not to try to
fix it right away. I also found that the four square had a high SWR on two of
four directions. I sent some email out to K1BG for the loan of an amp and went
to sleep. The next day after all my work obligations were satisfied, I went to
pick up the amp from Bruce and headed home to deal with the four square.
Luckily the problem with the four square was quickly solved and I proceeded to
get the station ready for the crew to arrive.
Thanks to Richie, KB1NEF for showing up to provide moral support. Richie just
got out of the hospital and his support was greatly appreciated.
Sunday afternoon we tried working a bunch of the spotted stations in the
Caribbean on 10 but the only thing we could hear was backscatter from the other
US stations working them. We got a few of them but it was tough going.
Thanks to everybody who called in and all the stations who participated to make
this such a fun weekend all around.
MVP award is split between K1HI for his Herculean effort on 20, W1END for such
a bang up job on 40, and K1BG for just being there when needed for almost the
entire contest.
73, Jerry
