Comments:
Had to mix up work with the contest this week-end, so I missed most of the high
band openings on Saturday. Propagation seemed terrible from here, with lots of
fading on 20 and 15m.
Had a really tough decision to make about an antenna reconfiguration when my
usual 80m antenna seemed to have a major SWR problem. It meant using the Comtek
PVS-2 for 40m on day 1 and then breaking it up so I could use one antenna as an
80m antenna on the second day. That affected the 40m campaign on day 2. I also
didn't realise just how effective the 40m array is until I had to go back to
just a single antenna for 40m.
All in all it was a little disappointing but I dug in deep on day 2 to recover
somewhat from what could have been a total disaster.
