Comments:
I worked the contest Friday and Saturday off and on but Saturday night, my hex
beam toppled over due to the high winds. One of the guy ropes gave way on the
push up mast. One spreader on the hex broke and the mast is bent in half. Up until
the loss of the antenna, I really enjoyed the contest as I picked up a few new entities.
No doubt many DX stations were taking stronger signals over my 500 watts so I had
to keep trying to be heard.
