Comments:

On the last day of 2010, my tower came down in a wind storm.  If you aren't
squeamish, you can look at the pictures at http://www.wa6l.com/damage

So I worked this contest with a end-fed zepp cut for 40 meters that I ran from
the top of my tower stump.  It works surprisingly well on 40, 20, and 10.  It
will also work on 15 with a lot of tuning.

With all that said, it wasn't that tough making QRP contacts.  I worked about 6
hours, and averaged a contact every 3-1/2 minutes; all S&P.  I'm happy with that
and I had fun doing it.

73,

John, WA6L
