SOLP all band classic

Same deal as SS CW.  Operated from nearby park with decent horizon
east through north to west but blocked to south.  1/4 wave vehicle
mounted whips for 15 and 20m.  100 W KX3/KXPA100 + laptop running
homebrew contest logger + 1300 W-hr battery.

It's not FD rate with a yagi on 40m, but this has been a great way to
play a bit in some of the contests without making a big effort out of
it.  Went out to work EU in the morning for 2 hours.  Went home and
did other stuff.  Went back for AS in the afternoon for 3 hours.  Left
the gear in the car in between.  Antenna setup/teardown is like a
minute.

Not sure if got ATNOs, but I think so since I decided to start keeping
track last year.  Good timing and XIT snagged one of the Carib
stations despite the pileup on first call.  Other pileups I didn't
even try.  Heard 3 BY but didn't work any this time.  Never heard ZL
or VK which is quite unusual.  (Some horizon impact for VK and
certainly for ZL.  Worst is south with horizon at 13 degrees
elevation.)
