Comments:

First attempt at RDXC.  Mains supply failed halfway into the contest so had to
do the remaining part on generator supply. Static killed the low bands as
usual. I heard the W4AN station reasonably loud on 160m but could not make it
in his log.  A severe battle with the elements over a few hours gave me just
108 QSOs on 80m.  I expect a big reduction in claimed score...

Lessons learned (band choices/directions etc) will hopefully help with a better
strategy next year!  If I can just remember them....

Thanks for all the contacts.

Bernie, ZS4TX
