Comments:

First time on top-band since CQ160 a year ago. No equipment failures, just a
really rusty operator!

The local power company has been replacing the poles in the neighborhood for
the past couple of weeks, and the sight of lots of bucket trucks and crews on
my street this past week did not leave me with a good feeling. I was
right...the noise levels were unusually high, making this Stew more of a test
of the environment than anything even remotely competitive.  

Time to call the power company and get the RX antennas working!

It was fun nonetheless!
