Comments:

Great conditions to Europe but only mediocre to NA.  Worked only 25 countries
and N1MM logger shows 179 grid squares.  May thanks to George, K8GG, for
modeling my 3-wire cage fed 90 foot tower with a 2-element 40 and 4-element 20
on top. I was previously dumping my RF into a large loading coil.   Eve though
the SWR showed no reflected power, very little RF current was shown flowing in
to cage feed.

Rig: 
ICOM 7300 (sitting next to an unused Flex 6600M which would have been nice for
dual diversity reception.  )  The Flex just got here and I need to get used to
using it.
Antennas:  
TX: Shunt fed 90' tower  
RX: 8 Beverages (not sure all were working properly.

With my Alpha 87A back in Colorado for the third time and am sure I cold have
done better with some "shoes."

VO1NA was my first contact but after that no other Maritime VE's...none.
Sure will miss Jack, VE1ZZ as he was always there.  

I have some time now to check on my Beverages.  I hope the amp gets fixed in
time for the big one in December.
