Comments:

Wasn't feeling too hot when the contest started. I was only going to work new
countries on the higher bands at first, but shifted to 40m only Friday night at
0130Z. Managed to work 92 countries on 40m with my inv vee but missed half a
dozen that I should have easily worked. Had to watch my battery state and cut
back my output power during the later hours of both mornings when my battery
State Of Charge (SOC) dropped below 20%; so I didn't run as much as I would have
liked. My SOC dropped to 12% on Saturday morning before quitting for the day,
and 10% on Sunday morning. Fortunately, there was plenty of sunshine both days
to recharge the batteries fully by sundown; but I'm looking forward to getting
all of my solar panels running so I can run the equipment off a dedicated power
source that doesn't feed the life-support in my trailer.
