Team: SCCC #3

Equipment: Elecraft K3/100, Hex Beam @ 40'

Strategy was to beam 80 degrees on 15m @ :00, 20m @ :20, and 10m @ :40 past
each hour.

As QSO rates dropped, I would swing the beam from NNE to SSE.  Periodically
checked NNW to SW for AK and HI.

Lost a lot of time (20 mins or so) trying to find a place to park on 20 meters
in the late afternoon.  Could not find a hole very easy.  If 20 meters had not
fizzled out, I know I would have cracked 1,000 QSOs.  Peak QSO rate exceeded
200/hr during mid day (was actually logging 100+/hr during the beginning). 
This was the best phone contest results I've achieved, thanks to the new Hex
beam antenna (previous antenna was a multi-band doublet).
