Comments:

Rig: Omni 6+
Antenna: R7000 Vertical at 10'

Reached my desert QTH with a truckload of junk just after 0500 UTC, so I 
decided to play on 40 a little bit. The R7000 seems to work okay for 
long haul stuff, but I could really use a 40 meter dipole here for the 
closer in stuff (felt weak trying to work other W6s).

I've got a dirty connection somewhere in my system. It think its in the 
R7000. My receive cuts out intermittently, but comes back when I 
transmit. Adds about 20dB attenuation which was somewhat annoying, but 
not a complete show stopper. Not much luck CQing, so I mostly did S&P.

Earlier in the day I got Rebecca KB0VVT setup at the W6UE station over 
at Caltech. Rebecca was going great guns on 20 CW. She is working at JPL 
as a summer intern, so it was great to give her an opportunity to do a 
little contesting from the CIT club station. Rebecca was using the name 
"TIM" for her name in the contest. See if you can guess what school she 
is going to? :-) :)
