Comments:

My tower motor had gone bad, so it has been in the retracted position for the
past 9 months. About 3 weeks ago, I finally ordered the replacement and I wired
it up on Friday before SS. On Saturday I finished the installation and the tower
went up in time for SS.

Still, had only a little time this weekend to dabble, so I figured I'd forgo
QRP and go with 100W. Operated for 10 hours total. Amazing what can be done
when you can hold a frequency without a ton of effort.

Basically, I beat my best QRP score in about 9 hours. The only thing missing
was the sweep. Missed PR and MS. Never heard either. A VE4, VO1, and VE8 called
me, which was really a treat (thanks). The VE8 was my #9, which is the earliest
I ever put that one to rest. I was on 10 mtrs a bit, but my schedule was such
that my timing was off - 20 and 15 were doing much better. 

Anyway, had fun and managed to somewhat have a normal weekend. CU -Al
