SteppIR showed high SWR right at start on 15 which made for a slow start while I tried to figure it out. Still don't know root cause.
Missed the mults on 10 due to same and had lower mult count on 15 which hurt score quite a bit. Other bands where as expected for summer NAQP. Was happy to get the HI mult on 80. Thanks KH6TU!
Overall felt like a real slog until mid afternoon when rate picked up and stayed decent until the end. Didn't even achieve 50/hour average and finished in the basement of Team #1. Hopefully won't be a drag on the team score...
PL259 live score site did help motivate and keep BIC.
