Comments:
Thanks to Alex for operating the CW WPX contest at the K3CR contest station. The
station was not in the best of shape but still good enough for Alex to do a good
job. The high 80M dipole (170 ft) was down and also the 40M curtain array for
Europe. Alex had my 3 ele V-Yagi at 55 ft for 40M. There were no Beverage
antennas either which hurt the low bands. We take all Beverages down for the
Summer so we can cut the fields and plant some of the fields. The bottom 20M
antenna would not turn and the top 10M antenna turned erratically. A new Big
Boy rotator was ordered last week for the 10M top Yagi from WX0B and we need to
fix the 20M TIC ring. Everything else seemed to work OK.
