100W + 20m: 5 element tribander + 40m: 3 element yagi + 80m: dipole

The era of aluminum has arrived! Friday evening I got the coax to the yagis
here reconnected and gave them a test drive, snagging all the DX I could hear
on 20m and 40m such as 7Z, 4X, 4L, and more LOUD on the first call with 100W.
DF2PY said my S9+ signal was the loudest from the east coast on 40m Friday
evening. Both antennas are currently stuck pointed approximately north, but I
hope to have the rotor functional within week. I'm ready to wreak havoc on the
bands now!

I could work everyone I heard and when I tried running I was getting callers
but they were mostly very weak in the QRN and the FT847 here doesn't have
anything to help me out with that problem, so sorry if I couldn't quite pull
you out. For the first time in a contest like this I actually worked more YO
stations than W/VE!

I'm majorly pumped up for the upcoming contest season now, hope the bands get a
little better though!
