 Comments:
 
 FT-102, 40M bazooka dipole pointing towards SA, 80M bazooka dipole pointing towards JA & Africa, 10-20M quad at 40ft.

Yaesu rotator indicator kept going off on it's own.  Then the xyl demanded to be taken out to dinner, just when 10M opened up during the last hour of the contest.  Think I made her feel so guilty about it that buying a K3 may be in the not too distant future.  Although all was S&P, I had a run on 20M at 150/hr but not for long.  Sleeping in late, yardwork on a beautiful weekend, and a neighbor borrowing things limited my fun time.
