Comments:

Another fun contest. "Thanks" to all those who stopped by for a Q. 

Started off with lots of noise on 20 and 15, but it eventually subsided.
Signals seemed to be not as loud from EU on either radio, although a few really
stood out very loud. 

Even though the points are less for same zone/country, I am surprised how under
utilized the low bands are. Yeah, they are noisy in the summer, but could have
been a source for more Q's and mults. 

Been doing a LOT of work on the station, getting all feedline and control
cables buried, and was not done. Had some rotor control issues - couldn't turn
the 15 or 20 mono-banders, which was a distinct dis-advantage. Still managed to
increase the Q count by 10%, so guess I can't feel bad about it. I will have the
rotor issues fixed and add more antenna options by the fall. C U on the air!

73,
Mark, K5ER
