Comments:

I forgot this contest was on so I didn’t start until late Saturday morning. My
main goal was to get Nebraska on RTTY and LoTW to complete my LoTW only Triple
Play (50 states on SSB, CW and digital).so I pointed the beam west and operated
on 40 meters then 20 meters. In mid afternoon I had a high SWR failure that
appeared to be a problem with my 40-6 meter SteppIR so I went off the air until
evening when I worked 80 meters until bed time. Sunday morning I realized that
my old triband A4S was still on the roof so I got on 15 meters. That worked OK
for a while but then I had the same high SWR problem again. I traced the
problem to a coax jumper in the shack. Once that was fixed I went back to the
SteppIR beam on the tower, which was now working perfectly. I operated 15, then
20 then 10 meters. After a break I finished up on 40 meters. It was fun but not
a productive way to operate a contest. I won’t know if I got Nebraska until I
analyze the logs. Rick W2GPS.
