Comments:
This was my first real SS effort from the Black Hole. I've done the SS from the
East Coast, West coast, Alaska, and Hawaii. But never before from the mid-west.
Very very different and I still have a lot to learn here.
My SteppIR beam broke five days before the sweepstakes (coax problem, not the
antenna itself) and I couldn't get a bucket truck in time to get up there and
get it fixed before the contest. So, I wound up running the contest with a set
of verticals and one low G5RV. The G5RV outperformed my dummy load - as a dummy
load. So ran the entire contest with the verticals. Probably about the most
inappropriate antennas for a domestic contest I can imagine.
What fun!
