This was my best effort.
I was able to work the full 10 hours.
This time a quick S/P was done early on 10 and 15 for mults before dropping
into running.
These domestic contest seem to prove that if you are limited to high angle
type radiators, use them.
If I had had a tribander, I probably should have pointed (EL) it up about 45
degrees.... hi.
I do need a bit better setup for 10/15.  Perhaps a dual band inverted V
dipole.
I can hide that too.

The trusty G5RV and a wire vertical on 160 were used, single radio.

160  -   20   17
 80  -  152   38
 40  -  226   47
 20  -  310   53
 15  -   44   18
 10  -   41   18

Tot     793  191 = 151463

My 80M freq got jumped when I went with Jeff, KU8E, to higher bands, but the
good natured fellow relinquished, saying he was being kind.  Thanks K4(xx).

I worked what I thought were the 10 hours but on a recalc found an extra
minute remained.
So waiting a half hour, 2 more mults were added on 160.
Those final two Qs took the score over the 150K mark.

Heard/worked many of the gang, worked KU8E on all bands.

This is a fun thing, particularly with the teams.

73,
