Comments:

All the equipment worked very well this year. Last year we smoked to amplifiers.
My rebuilt amp worked VFB. 

The two glitches were when got a phone call Saturday morning from my neighbor
complaining he was hearing me on his "just a cheap little radio" (his quote)
while he was painting a room upstairs. He ordered me to stop and said he would
be calling the town to complain that I was violating my tower permit by
interfering with him. We talked for a bit, but he ended up hanging up on me. I
have worked with him to squelch other interference, but he really does not like
the tower. This is a classic problem you don't need to hear more about.

The other glitch was missing some great run time Saturday evening due to a pair
of operators no-shows.

Sunday was tough trying to work the lower tier stations on the vertical (second
radio). Saturday the second radio did very well. At night it was a great thing
to have to be able to work low bands in conjunction with the tower radio. The
rates from the tower radio were fine most of the time.
