Comments:

Antennas were 134ft Off Center Fed Dipole wire antenna for 6-160m, 10ft vertical
for 70cm, 1.25m, and 2m. First location in MPX was not good. In previous year,
pulled wire antenna up into trees. But trees grow and the limbs were unfavorable
this year. Location was also very noisy electronically. Took and hour and a half
to put up wire antenna then struggled for every HF contact. Found another
location in MPX when relocating. Went to new MPX location the second day and put
up the wire antenna, the vertical antenna, started the generator, and was making
QSOs in about 30 minutes. Much better for HF. High winds prevented getting the
vertical antenna very high, but it was excellent anyway. Had to cease operations
for a few hours for a family commitment. Attempted to get on the air quickly
with just the vertical antenna in the last hour, but disaster struck. Logging
computer hard drive decided to not play and vertical antenna connector broke.
Put up a mag mount vertical antenna and used paper log to get a half dozen more
QSOs in the last few minutes. Still had a lot of fun. Looking forward to next
year.
