Comments:
Forgot Rule #1 for contesting.  Popped the xcvr fuse 45 minutes before
the test started -- no spares.  Thanks to the XYL for a run to Radio
Shack.  I was hoping the 20M dipole would perform better than the delta
loop on 20.  It did, but I let lousy band conditions (relative to last
week) really frustrate me.  The goal was 600 Qs all on wire. This
compounded the frustration.  The work on 75 saved the score.

Point of 'arrival' for low-buck contesting: With all the ropes, wires,
coax, and radials, my neighbor said my yard looked like a giant spider
web. YYYESSSS !!!!
