We tried to break 2M points and thought we had done it except we lost 2 mults
while fixing our TR logging notes post-contest.
The weekend before the contest we finally fixed our KT34XA whose driven element
had loosened and was pointing vertical. It ended up as our best 10-meter
antenna into Europe. We pointed our PRO-67A with the frozen rotator at South
America. And we raised a 402BA and pointed it at South America, but ended up
never using it because the existing hard line to the tower had a stuck
connector that wouldn't budge even after applying many chemicals to it.
Conditions on the low bands were definitely not as good as on CW. We
appreciated having Dave, WJ6O/G3WGN, helping us out. His 80 meter experience
at M6T, making 2000+ Q's on 80 in CQWW, was not good preparation for 80 meters
on the US west coast at a station with no receiving antenna and a low inverted
vee. Maybe Dave will help us build the 4-square we've always wanted (or he'll
drive the extra distance to N6RO next time around :)
