             Rig : K3 + 3-1000Z

         Antennas : 80M end fed 1/2 wave L (tunable from 3.5-4)
                          40M inv vee at 55 feet
                          20-10 C31XR @ 74'

By wide margin personal best score in SSB SS. More than doubled last
years SSB contribution.  Worked KP2M at 0258 for my last contact to
finish the sweep.

At great personal sacrifice, W0UCE gave me #1A on 75, which he may not
own up to, for the other notable event.

Sunday morning took down 40m sloper and 80m inverted vee off tower
when I was sure end-fed L was working from prior evening. Then put up
40 inverted vee which would never work next to 80m antenna. Only
moderate success on 40 but seemed definitely better. Could never get a
run going there though.

On 20 the center of SWR on the tribander has gone down to 13.8 and it
did not seem to work in the phone band (no gain maybe?), even though
the 3-1000z would load it. The 20 meter reflector got caught in a tree
several weeks ago and apparently going to have to do some maintenance.
Since the C31XR has a complex shared feed, it's probably done
something to 15 and 10 as well.

Got a run on 15 that got most western mults, but band faded out.

Two really good sessions on 75 are the bulk of the score.

Lots of NC.

73, Guy.
