No fifteen - no joy. That's the K3CR motto recently. 
Perfect conditions to win from W3. Only needed to get the 15 meter antennas
straight. This is where I failed. Multiple attempts, including a desperate
climb just before sunrise on Saturday, to put in temporary fixes but no luck.
The bottom antenna was the only one that worked. While it is not a bad antenna
by any means - 48 ft OWA at 60 ft - it doesn't even get close to the whole 200
ft high three-stack. It is, however, the only antenna in the stack that is not
rotatable. It is fixed to EU, which meant no JA on 15. Still managed to get a
couple using the SA tribander but there were some JA prefixes there left for
next year. 10 meter antenna was also stuck to EU but there were no high
expectations for 10 anyway.
Ugh, excuses, excuses ... truth is - wanted to cut Krassy some slack :)

Despite the bad start, as the contest progressed, the things were getting
better and better. Inside everything just clicked, not a single problem. I did
get in a groove and at the end felt like not getting enough radio for 36 hours.
Unfortunately, we will have to tear down the station this summer to fix the
multiple antenna problems and completely redesign the shack. Hope to be back
for CQWW.

Congrats to K1LZ, K0DQ, K5ZD, AA3B, N5DX! It was fun competing with you guys.

Thanks to Jim, WA3FET, for the help in fighting the problems on Friday and
letting me operate the station again.

73, Alex LZ4AX
