>What if the guys had been steel instead of Phillystan?  Who can say?

There are no easy answers... Every decision has its tradeoffs.....
Phillystran is kevlar, which is incredibly strong and is difficult to cut...
I'm not sure that a 4000# steel (3/16 EHS) would have fared any better than
the kevlar when struck by a large falling object....Steel will have better
resistance to abrasion....

Comment:

This was my first Sprint and
I worked more VK's then ever!
Also A92Q on 40m made my day.
Poor condx & weak Asia sigs.

73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU.
