Comments:
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.
