First chance to turn on the rig was almost midnight. Shorted the ends of the
feedline to the G5RV (apex 30'), and fed it as a "bunch of wire special".
Tuned ok with 940's autotuner. Fired up CT, and found that this version was
the buggy one for 160 test. Installed NA here for the first time. Not
familiar with the setup, and I'm tired. Got it running at last. On the air
at 1:30 a.m. Man, I'm weak!! First qso with KG0US..
Stayed on till 4:00 a.m. 72q's and 35 mults. Like pulling teeth! Did work
ZF2NT. Also N0TT, KU1CW. I'll try to get back on tonight to catch the
"early sleepers"!
