Comments:

Equipment:

TS-850SAT; SB220
2 element 40 meter phased vertical array; 3 element Robert-tail curtain;
2 - 295 ft beverages.

Soapbox:

New 40 meter phased verticals worked like gangbusters. During Search &
Pounce mode I was able to work everybody on the first call. When Calling
CQ TEST, there were no replys at all. Worked the band dry by 0200Z when I
got sick with some type of bug. Biggest headache and worst feeling in years
and forced to retire.

Will have a 3 element phased vertical for next year. Want to get the tower up 
also and perhaps a 2 element delta loop up for JA. Also lengthen the beverages 
or perhaps use phased beverages for Eu's.

Need to try to find the secret to get answers to a CQ TEST.
