Finally Murphy have visited me in this contest. The SteppIR yagy SWR started
raising on Saturday. On Sunday morning it got close to 4! I needed to stop the
contest and to re-calibrate and to re-create all the bands geometry. After 1.5
hours of desperate attempts I've finally got 20m working pretty well if I
manually put an antenna working frequency around 13.8 MHz. Couldn't get a quick
fix to get back 15m and 10m bands with an affordable SWR. So I missed 15m and
10m 6 hours before the contest end. Going to contact SteppIR for a resolution
for that case.
The 20m was my money band. I've got all the 40m zones on it for the first time.
The 80m band was amazing as never before.
Thank you for all the QSO's!
73!
