A HA! I'm glad you posted this. I thought there was a config issue
at N5UWY! This is about the only contest in which I use spotting
assistance so usually it's just random DX. With the latter, if it's
off a bit, I probably don't notice and just trim it up with that big
knob on the front of the radio. But this weekend, just about every
spot seemed to be off, just a little.
I guess I know why now - thanks!
