Hope to be on for most of the contest have relatives up myself so wont
know for sure. I think Sunday looks pretty good everyone should be gone
by then.

Got the 6M beam up on thop of the tower today but have a feedline issue
but think I know the problem. I want to get that resolved first thing in
case the antenna has to be removed from the mast and looked at.

As Bill said the antennas are now higher up and seem to be working well.
1296 @ 97' 432 @ 94' 222 @ 91' 144 @ 88' and 50 @ 80'

Worked Bill on 144, 432 and 1296 with good results and still finisheing
connections for the 222 gear and have to fix 6M. Am having trouble with
N connectors, bought some surplus E.F. Johnson EFJ-134 connectors they
dont like 9913F aparently. Just hope the issue is not with the connector
on the end of the boom I doubt I will be on for the start if thats the
case. I have to go back to work Monday so need to get everything wraped
up this weekend.

Have visible aurora tonight but nothing on 144.200
