          Soapbox : 

I didn’t have much time to prepare before the contest, so I just sat down a few minutes after the start.  I figured I’d warm up with some S&P, so I spun the dial down the band and clicked some spots on the band map.  Oops!  This is NAQP!  And as easy as that, I become Multi-Two.

I plowed on with lots of breaks.  I had to debug several cables that were disconnected for housework, and I never really got anything going on the high bands.  40 and 80 were fun until the horrible noise rolled in.  I stuck it out for a bit as a challenge, until I noticed something intermittent - my SWR would keep spiking up and then settle back down.  Sorry Bruce!  I finally pulled the plug before I blew something up.

It wasn’t the day I was hoping for, but it was fun in a different way and I got some points for the club.

73,
