Started thinking I'd only play for a few hours, but got caught up in the =

conditions. I kept debating if it was worth it to wire everything back =

not, but just kept plugging along with the 10M stack hardwired with all =

antennas active, but two of them fixed SE. On 15M the top antenna was =
the only=20
one used and still had a rotator. On 20M all the rotators were =
disconnected=20
with all the antennas at least fixed on Europe!
Highlights of the contest included having a 90 hour on 80M, and the =
first night=20
on 20M with 07-09Z with rates of 155, 163, and 161. It was the first =

figured when the op time hit 24 hours it was time to get back to taping =

mudding drywall.
