Comments:

Uh oh. I really made some bad decisions on this one. I fully expect top dog
Arizona Outlaw NAQP organizer Dave K6LL to kick me right off this Team!

Summarizing...ugh:

1.After 70 q's on 10, in the first 30 minutes, I decide to go for a big rate
hour (for me anyway) and switch to 15. 148 q's later I come back to
10...nothing left but crums and the band is terrible to boot. Uh oh.

2.I spend way too much time on 20 and by the time I am ready for 40 I need to
scrub off some time. By the time I actually get on 40m it's good for less than
1:40 hours before it goes south. It never really came back. 3 el at 70' meant
vy little. Uh oh. 

3. On the plus side, 80 was good. Anytime here I can rival my 40m score on 80,
with these simple 80m antennas, you know 40 was screwed up! ;-)

4. 160 was about where I figured it would be. Fairly decent. 

I decided to scrub the last hour and have my 10 hrs in by 0500Z. The only good
decision I made all day.

I really love this contest!! I always have.
