[RTTY] AE5P RU SO LP

[Army Curtis]

And another fun Round Up is gone. Everytime I play in these, I learn something new (that's what a big part of the fun is). I was very interested to see how the new antennas would play that I have worked so hard to get up this past year. Well, these fancy new radios with the automatic antenna tuners can get you in trouble. I thought I was using the new Mosley PRO67-C3 for everything on 40-10M, but when I was switching coax around to hookup the 80M sloper late Saturday night, I discovered I had been using the sloper all day instead of the beam. 
;o(  
The automatic antenna tuner had simply tuned as needed, and gave me no indication I was on the wrong antenna. Kinda wondered why I wasn't hearing many DX stations ;o)
Missed the big 3 on states, like so many others. Was very pleased with conditions on 80, very quiet here and many stations to work. Overall, another fun contest. Thanks to all for the Q's.
