Comments:

I took all the BP filters out of the 160 position and hooked up the spotting 
dipole for 40 and the spotting triband vertical.  I found (just before the 
contest) that wind and downed trees had ripped all the radials off of the 
vertical.  With no counterpoise, SWR was over 3:1 on 10/15/20.  I managed a 
Q with one local on 15 and 3 Q's on 20.  The signals had to be in excess of 
30 over 9 for me to get through, and then I was asked for a lot of repeats. 
About 20 percent of my time was used making those 4 Q's.  Near the end, when 
Jose was on 40, I stole an unused 80 meter antenna (my EUR wire array) and 
it seemed to play very well.  Twas fun considering I had not planned on 
doing ANY operating.
