Soapbox         : The WA6TQT Remote Super-Station was not available to the
San Diego Contest Club group of operators this weekend so after no contest
operation for at least 10 years from my home QTH, I decided I would
reactive my home station and compromised 4 Element SteppIR Monstir antenna
that is still missing 2 elements and use it as a 2 Element Yagi. But first
I had to take off several hours Saturday afternoon to unstick my prop pitch
rotator motor and grease a very dry thrust bearing at top of tower. Had a
nice run for 2.5 hours mid day on Sunday from 1800Z to 2030Z. Signals were
very weak for most of the other hours of the contest so SSB was not a good
option. 73 Dennis N6KI
