Comments:

I chose a different stradegy for this one. With no internet/spotting allowed, I
decided to just run and forgo S&P. Mults suffered, but total Qs were my best
ever. Finally got my limited SO3R working, but it didn't do a lot of good as it
is dedicated to 10 meters only. 21 lousy Qs and even tried CQing at times.
(756pro, 3 ele yagi @ 40' for 10). I don't think I have ever before gone
through a contest without turning the beam! I parked the 3 ele. STEPPIR and 40
meter beam east and just went with that. I have enough problem trying to run 3
radios, let alone worrying about beam position. Forgot how brutal it is with LP
on 80 meters!  There was one station that kept trying to call all day and I
absolutely couldn't print them. Reasonably strong signal, but just garbage.
Anybody else have that problem? 

Two 756PRO3, 756 pro
3 element STEPPIR @ 50'
10-40 yagi @ 90'
3 ele 10 mtr yagi $40'
2 80mtr sloping dipoles.
Desktop, 2 laptops and WL
Bandmaster filters et al.

73 and Thanks to all for the Qs
W0LSD Ken
