80m: 16 Q's
Total: 135 Q's x 34 mults = 4,590 pts

Team:  SCCC #2

Comments:  Rig still higher than antenna on 20m although I used a vertical 
this time.  Threw up a 40m inv vee with apex at 20 ft on Saturday afternoon. 
Something must have got wet.  I couldn't get the SWR below a zillion to one. 
Thank god for tube finals.  Still made 56 Q's on 40.  Since it sorta-kinda 
played there, I took it to 80 for another 16 Q's and the AZ mult snag. 
Probably shaved 5 yrs off the finals.  I long for the days on the half acre 
of flat land in the desert.  300 Q's from this HOA QTH is likely impossible.

Note:  The name "Dennis" sucks for Sprint.  Time to change my name to "Bob".
