Comments:

This was my first real SS effort from the Black Hole.  I've done the SS from the
East Coast, West coast, Alaska, and Hawaii.  But never before from the mid-west.
 Very very different and I still have a lot to learn here. 

My SteppIR beam broke five days before the sweepstakes (coax problem, not the
antenna itself) and I couldn't get a bucket truck in time to get up there and
get it fixed before the contest.  So, I wound up running the contest with a set
of verticals and one low G5RV.  The G5RV outperformed my dummy load - as a dummy
load.  So ran the entire contest with the verticals.  Probably about the most
inappropriate antennas for a domestic contest I can imagine.

What fun!
