This became a see if I could beat last year's 1,050,000 point finish after our
family camping trip plans were cancelled. The previous year's score was broken
before taking a nice, long, break Saturday evening with the family. Apparently
I missed out on a great over the pole opening at that point.

Friday night was hot. Saturday morning was open to EU on 20-10 after the
morning 80/40 JA runs. The EU opening Saturday morning was great. Sunday stunk
and I was glad that I had put in a lot of time on Sat/Fri.

This was my first time operating with a broken antenna. Something is wrong with
my C31XR's 15m feed line or balun and I didn't devote the time before hand to
fix it. This was identified as a problem last weekend during the CQ WPX RTTY. I
thought to use my XM240 as an alternate antenna. The ACOM 2000A control unit
measured 1KW forward and 100W reflected. It worked much better than I could
have expected and produced my best band numbers.

Operating equipment:

Elecraft K3
Acom 2000A

Elecraft K3
Alpha 78

LM354HD 54' Tower
Force 12 C31XR
Cushcraft XM240 (also my 15m antenna this time due to 15m yagi failure)
80m inverted-v
160m inverted-L
N1MM latest version
