Low power sucks!
Think age is really beginning to set in. And of course, Murphy struck
in an unusual manner. I control 4 Tailtwisters with a single control
box and somehow, I managed to switch the 10 and 20 labels...I began to
suspect trouble when I changed the direction and signals stayed the
same. That wide spaced 5 element 10 has a 55 db F/B at resonance and
believe me, it acts like it. Went late Sunday afternoon before
discovering that!
Best time was when I asked K9AY for a repeat of his section. Gotcha
Gary! Also, was nice working so many of the guys. Got 3 SC
contacts...special thanks to AA4NN for getting on after his tower
work. Also Joe who was really putting them out.

New 40 rotateable dipole did very well. Skip was incrediably short on
all bands.
Couldn't work K4BAI on 40, but he called me on 20.
