Comments:
Quite a blast this time!
Could only operate 17h10m but what fun!
Conditions on higher bands are really getting good, best hours on 20m 190 Q
and 15 over 160 Q. Just like 7 years ago.
Burned an UHF T at the very beginning of the contest on Sat (fixed that), tower
1 stopped rotating Sat afternoon (fixed that), Sunday morning amplifier HV would
not come on, a control relay DEEP in the system failed (fixed that) and finally,
at the end of a great run of US stations on 20 m, the amp blew the main fuse and
would blow it every time with more than 10 W drive. The heat of the "battle" was
too much for the 10 y old reliable thing. Did NOT fix that. That felt like a
good time to give up before Murphy starts taking down towers!
Thanks for all the QSOs, this fall has been good fun already in SAC and this
promises a nice CQWW CW!!!
