Comments: Started on 10 Mtrs about an hour late - band sounded great.
Seemed like I was getting through
the pile-ups with no issue - fun.  Fri night on 40 was also good into EU as
well.  Starting mid afternoon Sat
bands seemed to deteriorate - signs not as loud as earlier even though I
was still able to make Q's.  Should
have set up my RF2K-S amp on 75 before the contest.  I am sure it will tune
- but didn't want to screw things
up in the middle of the contest - so I just didn't play on 75.  Amp and
sloper work great at the lower end of 80.
I need to get things squared away before WPX-SSB.  Great to hear the bands
open - hope things continue
improving - at least for the next few years.   73 - Dick
