Comments:
Had a ice/slush clog on the triband for most of the operating time on that band
that made it almost impossible to to make Qs. SWR bouncing 3:1 and above. most
of the time. Internal tuner couldn't keep up and output power kept dropping.
Winds picked up by the time I went to 40 and 80 and SWR on that antenna also all
over the place. High noise level to boot on 80. I actually ran a bit on 160 late
and beefed up that Q count in a short time. Thanks to Dave W9QL for running the
bands with me near the end of the contest.
Lots of breaks throughout the day from shear frustration of not being heard, and
watching the SWR meter moving all over the place! But I kept coming back for
more punishment anyway!!
Thanks for all the Qs. 73 Gene, N9TF
