Comments:

FT1000MP, Alpha 78, 1 KW output, TH6DXX, zepp, dipole, inverted vee.  SO2R used
for first time in this contest.  Think it was counterproductive.  Beam indicator
hasn't worked accurately in years.  Discovered when I went outside to get the
newspaper Sunday morning that the beam had been pointed SW instead of NW.  No
wonder 20 M seemed to falter badly when the contest started...just after I had
set it NW, I thought.  40 and 80 were pretty good, except the QRN was bad on 80.
 Was unable to copy information from K6XT on 80 and maybe a few others.  Need a
receiving antenna, I guess, but little room in yard.  Burned out a capacitor in
one of the bandpass filters when I changed to 80 for the fist time and forgot to
switch filters.  73, John, K4BAI.
