Comments:

Testing out an antenna for portable use, a 40m EFHW.  Had an intermittent
problem that ended a decent 20m run, seems to have been a coax connector. 
Loaded the antenna on 80m as a qtr wave inv-l by shorting pass transformer for
the driven element and switching in an 80m folded counterpoise, which seemed to
work better than a single 1/4 wave radial.  With 20m open all night friday, not
much 80m testing happened until saturday night.  Five band function and easy to
deploy.  A good trade off.

Bands seemed really good, lots of activity.  40m was rocking at the very end of
the contest.  Did not catch 15 or 10 at best times, but made a few there for a
nice change.

First contest in a long time.  tnx fer Q's
