Comments:

Made a visit to the junk box three hours before the contest start and found a
nice mil spec Collins transformer, a .3 ufd cap, some shielded cable and some
alligator clips to fashion an audio interface between the laptop and the
transceiver. Lucked out and audio levels did not have to be adjusted for
balance between Heil pro set and audio files generated the night before and
linked to the N3FJP logging program. An hour before the contest discovered the
big storm the previous weekend had turned the mast in the rotor so put on the
belt, climbed the tower and aligned the SteppIR. Due to over sleeping Sunday
morning and social committments Sunday evening only got 14+ hours in the chair.
Got most of the rare ones early but didn't find ORG for the sweep until about
1600 UTC Sunday. Equipment: 756 pro 3, Al-82, 3 ele SteppIR at 30 feet, 40
dipole and 80 inverted vee.
