[TVARC] K2TE ARRL DX, SOAB HP

[k2te at juno.com]

Here is my score for the past weekend.  I had hoped to better my score
from last year which was my best since moving to TV.  I put up my
full-wave diamond loop for 20 meters on my mast to cut down the noise. 
The tuner allows me to use the loop on 15, cutting the noise way down
from the S5 level (meaning I'm deaf) on my 6BTV.

Alas, my weekend got upended with grandkids.  One is into Saturday
morning football camp so goodbye Europe on 20.  I was hoping for a full
day's assault on Sunday.  My wonderful XYL volunteered me to babysit my
14-month-old grandson while his parents had to work.  No chance to
operate again until 6 PM (ARRRGHHH!!).  (I'm going to have to explore a
tag team with K2DM next year, even if it is QRP, hi.  Not a DXpedition
again but no grandkids.)

On the bright side, I was able to hold 35-40/hr with just S&P activity
for 11.5 hours.  Last year's effort went for 26 hours and twice as many
Qs so my rate was consistent with the lack of sunspot activity, hi.  The
Elecraft tuner and KPA500 certainly make the contests enjoyable again.
