Comments:
I knew I was in trouble when I missed WTX on the low bands on Saturday
night.
Finally on Sunday afternoon I heard N5RZ on 10 meters. Whew! I knew sooner
or
later I could break the pile-up for VY1JA and VE9MY, but missing WTX scared
me.
The last 6 hours were marred by equipment problems, blown fuses, dinner, the
national news, and setting off the alarm system everytime I transmitted on
80 m
(I gave up and went back to 40). I already had the sweep, but I just wanted
to
break 500 for the 1st time :-))
FT-890, 100 W (except last 6 hours was 25 W)
dipoles on 10/15/20 and elevated vertical or inv-vee on 40/80
nothing heard on 160
73, Jerry
