Good to work many fellow members.

I spent a couple of hours working on my 20 meter RF problem just before the 
contest.  It is better (only shut down two times) but not completely 
eliminated.  I guess I need a new computer.

Comments:

I spent a couple of hours trudging through a foot of snow to put my 20 and 
80
antennas back up only to discover when it was time to move to 80 that the 
SWR
was too high. So I had to go with the 160 antenna on 80.  Didn't seem to 
make
much difference, although I missed a lot of mults on 80.

I worked hard to find mults on 15 and 20 but may have short changed 40. 
Took
my last off-time at the end of the contest.  Probably a mistake since I 
missed
a lot of mults on 160.  I think I made that mistake the last time I operated
this contest.

On the plus side, activity was incredible and there was no shortage of 
stations
to work.  The NAQP has become a 10 hour Sprint!
