Final Score = 113050 points.
Op Time: 9h, 40m
Rig: TS870
Antennas:
160m: 40m wire yagi (uugh!) Thanks N0NI!
80m: the flakey inverted vee (closer to dipole then Vee I suppose)
40m: 40m wire yagi (20-35')
20/15/10: Cushcraft D-3 rotatable dipole fixed E/W (40')
Way Cool!
The highlight was definitely the >100+ hour on 20 meters.
The lowlight was problems with 80m antenna. SWR would jump between
perfect and >3:1 and transmit power would vary accordingly. For over an
hour I was convinced it was up at the antenna but I finally figured out
that it was a connector problem in the shack. Unfortunately there was
less then an hour left in the contest at that point.
Gotta lose "Chris" as a name!
Let's do it again!
73's
