Comments:

I was doing pretty well (by recent standards) until the SWR suddenly went to
infinity on 80.  The antenna was acting a little flaky just before the contest
but seemed to settle down and worked ok for the first 34 contacts there.  I went
out in the dark and wiggled the barrel connector where two pieces of coax are
joined, but that didn't help.  Disappointed!!  I guess it's time to replace this
trusty old soldier before I start remoting for the winter.

QRN on 80 was pretty bad so I don't know what my last hour would have turned out
if the antenna had not gone south.  My hours were 65, 64 and 55.  Activity was
down, due, I guess, to the unfortunate overlap with the CWO contests.  After the
first time this happened, they moved the contest to the previous weekend, but
they moved it back this year.  I sure hope they don't do that again!

73, Hal
