Team: Tennessee Contest Group
Points to ponder: Definitely crushed the TN. state record I set in
the 9/98 CW Sprint. Mults made all the difference. Highlight was
going back to 40 meters with 10 minutes left to pickup 6 QSO's and
2 mults in 3 minutes before going back to 80. Low point was missing
four minutes of operating time from 0214-0218 trying to figure out
why I had a 5:1 SWR and no receive on the 80 meter antenna (solution:
forgot to switch bandpass filters from 20 to 80 when changing bands)
Great to hear all the short skip on 20 after last Saturday's long
skip for the SSB version. Hope y'all had fun, I did!
