Soapbox
=======
Had been on since 10am with Port control working fine between Radio & Laptop 
then 10mins before contest it went pear shaped so had to work without it :o(
Enjoyed the contest but had an early Start on Sunday to get back home from the 
parents house so could only work Saturday. 
- Thanks to all the stations that moved to work me on other bands. 

By 1am QSO's had just about dried up completely so  I called it a day there. 
Really enjoyed seeing that the 5 hours I spent on Friday putting up the 
antennas & running out radials paid off with the signal reports & ease at which 
I could be heard in some of the pile-ups. 
Had a really scary moment just looking up at the 80M vertical ( thanks dad ). 
Never put a monster like that up before but it worked well. 

Had a 2 min go at CQ when there was no-one to work ( I enjoy talking to myself 
;-)

10M was disapointing & feel I should have done more with 15 as well

Look forward to next years SAC

All the Best

Rob MW5EPA
