Comments:

I love this contest.  There seemed to be a lot on non contester participation
and the rates were quite good.  I do have some feedline and remote antenna
switching problems that I need to investigate and fix but everything worked
pretty well.  Used the SO2R setup a lot during the beginning of the contest when
I was bouncing between 20, 15 and 10, but when I went to the low bands the high
bands started to die and used it a lot less.  This was in part to the dirty
antenna relays in the SixPack on the tower causing intermittent high SWR at
times.

The best hour was after I took a break and came back on at 0100. I went to 80
and found a good freq and rattled off 117 Qs and then switched to 160 where I
had another 28 Qs before the end of the hour.  Whenever you can have a 145 Q
hour that is just plain fun.  The fun continued on 160 with low noise and good
conditions and I had a 90 Q hour on that band.

Now to start getting ready for ARRL DX CW from W4RM.  73 and thanks for the Qs,
Jack W4NF
