Comments:

Well the ARRL 10m contest is always exciting, this year was no different but not
for the reason we all hope for, lots of DX & QSO's.  Both were in short supply
this year.

The exciting part this year is how stray signals would pop up from various
parts of the world and you would work them relatively easly but then nothing
much else around.

Like many I had watched in the weeks before the contest the SFI creap up and
the A & K index remain fairly stable and I thought, Wow 10m might just fire for
us, but the propagation gods had other plans.

The big shocker was seeing all the USA stations lined up on the band map but
not hearing one, not a peep, I worked 4 in the whole contest.

The Station was an FT1kmp Field (100w) and a 3 ele SteppIR yagi.

Below is a multiplier break down.
