Can anybody tell me where to find the records (and breakdowns) for the ARRL 
10m contest?

Thanks,

I have seen the same results here.  I have not determined the cause, 
and need better filtering than my 419's alone are providing to run
SO2R at 1kW.  Sometimes turning the 419 OFF is the best position!

I thought it was maybe because I am not using double-shield coax on 
the 419 jumpers.  I'm using high-grade RG-213.  Come to think of it, 
that doesn't really explain the phenomenon.

Interesting theory...
