Comments:

Lost an hour Sunday morning because of a power failure.
Used only one K3.  2nd one died before the contest.


For 10,15, and 20 I use two KT34XA's; one is at 100' , the second is at 63'
on a ringrotor.
For 40 I use various wires (2 el beam failed several years ago)
For 80 I use a wire 4-sq  suspended from ropes coming off the 100' tower.
For 160 I shunt feed the tower and have various RX systems: 3 two wire
reversible beverages, a hiZ 8 circle array (works on 160, 80, and 40) and a
broad side-end fire (BSEF)array of 4 short verticals (70' x 320') 
built  in 2002 after
several conversations with W8JI.
