Comments:
I was supposed to work Sunday morning so a full time effort was not in the
cards. Additionally, the 10 meter OWA's were partially assembled and laying
on the ground. That left me we with the 40 meter tower and three SteppIR's at
60, 100 and 200 feet. Non of the antennas are rotatable. The top antenna at
200 feet is pointed to the NW and the lower antennas at 100 and 60 feet are
pointed to the NE.
I started Friday night and had several phone, email and computer interruptions.
No problem as it was a casual operation. Early Saturday morning was similar
with another couple of phone calls but the last phone was to cancel the Sunday
work. Cool. That triggered a switch from a causal effort to a serious
effort.
I was concerned about using the high antennas in a contest but they played
great. One highlight was having a PR station give me a report of 60 over when
running with the SteppIR at 200 foot. Conditions were awesome the last three
hours of the contest with awesome run rates. Thanks to everyone for all of the
contacts.
