Comments:
Murphy did not want me in this contest. As I was putting the antennas together,
I dropped several pieces of hardware into the alfalfa field where I was setting
up and lost them. I managed to dig up some pieces that would replace them. Then,
when putting the antennas up, I broke an element on my 6m beam. I managed to
scrounge and patched it together, too. Something was not right with the 6m beam
after that, though; the SWR was high. I still managed QSO's with it.
Conditions were mostly poor to dismal. 6m kept promising to open to W1 but a
big opening never materialized. I only worked two W1's outside my immediate
area.
I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I chose wisely for my 6 hour stretch as a
Hilltopper, or if a big 6m opening materializes then.
