Comments:

With two Duke basketball games, a dead rotor that needed to be removed on my
40 meter tower, some work demands and more, my on the air time was seriously
limited. With that mandatory time reduction in front of me I decided to do
something different.  The amps were left off and I ran 100w.  Fortunately
the bands were in pretty good shape.  I was able to run on 15, 20 and 40
with no issues except for the occasional loss of frequency to a strong EU
station, but that was expected.  About equal run and SP times spent on 80 to
get to the 100 QSO target. But 10 and 160 were all SP. My night time
operation was again time limited, so perhaps 160 did not get a fair chance
for trying to run. Even with my short on the air time I have a new
appreciation for the low power challenges. I might try LP again next time
but put with a more serious effort.

Thanks for the Qs and fun.
