Some casual assisted S&P, decided to really see how these newer antennas
here actually perform.  Was gong to go single-band only, but could not
resist flipping the band switch just once.

The sole top band contact was Colombia.

Verdicts:

(1) I like my KPA500, a lot.  But, 600 watts is ... 600 watts.
I continue to investigate ways to address this power deficit here.

(2) I also have now seen enough field feedback to make me place an order
for the new Array Solutions SALA AS-SAL-30 antenna.  Look for a report as I
improve here in time to work the W1BB contest despite (1) above.


*  Band    QSOs     Pts   ZN   Cty*
   1.8       1      3    1    1
   3.5      60     158   15   53
 Total      61     161   16   54
Score: 11,270

Hope one and all have a very enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.
