Comments:

Used this contest to experiment with various configurations:  Flex 3000, 100
Watts to 22' flagpole fed thru SG-237 tuner at base of flagpole; TS-440SAT, 100
watts to 20 meter loop fed thru Dentron tuner; TS-440SAT driving Ameritron
AL-811H to 22' fishing pole fed thru Dentron tuner.  The Flex 100 held its own
wherever I used it.  The TS-440SAT to the loop was a disappointment.  Tried
higher power to the loop and blew out a new W2AU balun.  TS-440SAT with high
power to the 22' fishing pole was a lot of fun on 10 meters, worked Guam and
Japan.  If I had it to do over, I would stick to the Flex 3000 at 100 watts to
the flagpole and spend the time used to experiment with other antennas and high
power on actual operating.  I spent way too much time trying to build/modify 
antennas during the contest. Still a very fun Ham Radio Weekend.
