Comments:

This was a lot of fun. 
Amazed at what 100 watts and no tower can do.

99.9% single radio, single VFO.  Very little effective use of the 2nd radio.

99% S&P contacts.  I got through many pileups in 1st or 2nd call, but had no
luck trying to run. I had just 2 runs this weekend with 20 Qs on 10m and 38 Qs
on 20m.

Heard many 59+ signals on low bands using the beverage and was not able to get
heard in the crowded band conditions. You can certainly tell who also uses
listening antennas on the low bands, those contacts were easy.

I needed to rebuild almost all the antennas in the days before the contest that
were damaged in the surprise October snow storm last year. The F12 C3 yagi
mounted in the tree did not need to be touched.


10m - 2el quad fixed EU @ 30'
15m - 2el quad fixed EU @ 35'
20m - 2el quad fixed EU @ 45'
40m - 2el vertical array
80m - Inv-L w/ 4 raised radials
160m - Inv-L (sort of) w/ 4 raised radials

10/15/20m - Force12 C3S yagi under tree branch, fixed SA @ 45'
480' Bev to EU
