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!
