Spent most of friday climbing towers fixing antennas  ... ran new feed line to
15 meter  beam .... repaired 40 and 80 meter antennas  on hill top , come time
to climb X7-tower  Which is my secondary 10/15 metr antenna aamd ,my ain 20
meter antenna to fix  rotator   ......ran out of gas .... in bed with flu all
week hi! Fortunately that antenna had kinda fixed itself on Europe  during a
recent windstorm so it was at least strategically placed more or less  ..  of
course  wind  came up over night on saturday at about 100 kmh  so it decided to
go to the southwest and that's where it stayed all sunday  ... so had to run 
bunch of europeans off the back on 20 .......  not  a very productive
proposition ....  usual frequency fights ....  oddly enough  only three this
contest .... all with  other VE's ,,,........ two of  whom  are CFA's  operating
 here !!   
Could not crack 100 countries any band ,  might have had a shot on 20 if  beam
had been rotational. 
Worked a bunch of stations  6 bands .....  loads of whom were happy to qsy  and
many who requested  the  mult on other bands.......  kudos to Paul K9PG  ... at
WP3R     who seemed    to   have the  proper attitude about  request for qsy's
hi !
Bricks  to  PJ4G   who requested me to qsy from 10 to 15 .... I happily obliged 
even though  I did not  need the mult on 15    asked him  to qsy to 20 to give
ME  a mult  to which he Glibly replies "I dont  need  VO   on 20 ... But work me
on 80 'cuz  I need you there"     yeah right  !!!    I guess he  doesn't 
believe in reciprocity .
Managed to stay Alive ( awake is another matter )  for 38  hours of the 48, now
back to bed to finish recovering from 'Flu.... XYL   thinks I'm masochistic...
I told her I'm not ....... just Crazy  hi !
C'Y'all next one  GLWCDR
