COMMENTS
Enjoyed the contest from the black hole. Had a computer logging glitch
about 3 hours in and the MFJ Keyer went berzerk. Otherwise had a good time.
Definitely not a good idea to try to operate SSB from the black hole with a
vertical and 75 watts. Enjoyed the CW portion though.
Tried to put up a wire for 20M at the last minute, but didn't have the tuner
out of storage, and could not get a good SWR on the wire. So I tore it down
and used the wire for radials on the vertical :).
