Comments:

Due to antenna damage, the only working antennas here are a G5RV (10-80) and a
160m inverted vee.  Unfortunately, the G5RV is 4:1 SWR on 10m and does not work
at all on 15m (so I was forced to use the 160m vee)

I was hesitant to put much power into the G5RV, but in the end, risked up to
about 1kw and it seemed to work OK. At least nothing melted that I'm aware of. 
It does have a pretty beefy balun.

As everyone has stated, amazing conditions. I don't even want to think about how
good it could have been with a yagi on 10 thru 40.
