Hello lads!

I worked a few hours in the SAC contest even though my major problems with 
the station. I connected the 20m antennas to each coax and ran it SB 20M. 
Now I wish I had done AB because I heard US on 80M with my TRIBANDER :-)

I also took a new rate record from my station. The first hour I managed to 
work 175 qsos, I think the old record was about 165 or something so not that 
huge of a difference but I still had a blast.

I spent 9 hours on the air and actually missed a few high rates hours. I 
also slept during most of the night which lost me some SA multiplyers but 
overall I am quite pleased anyway.

774 qsos - 1689 pts and 65 mults = 109 785 points.

Not that much DX, about 89% Europe. There were conds to JA but not much 
stations active. The ones who called were really strong. I was also hoping 
for an opening during the morning to west coast but that never happened so 
not much US worked either.

Equipment:
4el rotates
3el fixed @JA
6el tribander fixed @EU
TS850SAT + 1kW amp

My stack switch also got a beating by the lightning. It sat against a iron 
leg at desk and there were welding marks between the stack switch and table 
leg...amazing!
