Comments:

This was a good contest!  I operated from just east of the Cibola National
Wildlife Refuge at N33° 19.766' W114° 39.623'.  My setup includes:  100w
Renogy solar panel; 2 ea 35 amp-hr SLAB's; TenTec Eagle @ 100w, LDG autotuner;
Balun Designs 4:1 balun; 100 ft 450-ohm ladder line (supported at 2 ft by a
combination of rebar stakes and PVC pipe; 135 doublet in inverted V config, apex
at 28 ft. Perfect weather, light wind.  Many good experiences on the air, but
one of the best was working Ken KG6T running the University of Arizona station
K7UAZ -- Ken's gotten to be a formidable CW op!! 20m and 40m worked well, and
80m CW provided a good number of points. I used a much better 4:1 balun this
year, upgrading from a relatively inexpensive LDG 4:1 balun to a Balun Designs
4:1 balun. With this change I was able to achieve a usable SWR on 160m, and even
make a few QSO's.  (I recall literally burning up an LDG 4:1 balun on this band
in about 20 minutes during NPOTA at Joshua Tree NP - LDG was kind enough to
replace the balun).  Thanks for a fun weekend; see you next year! -Curt / K7ZOO
