[TVARC] CQ WPX RTTY SOAB HP

[Rich Erlichman]

I forgot to mention last week, my RTTY effort in the CQ WPX RTTY 
contest.
Again, not a whole lot of time allocated to me, but I enjoyed what time 
I did have.

I learned that when the instructions say to solder the connections 
before using high power, the antenna manufacturer means it. My Cobweb 
performs great for 100 watts and less (for FT8), but with the amplifier 
on, and running RTTY, I may not have seen sparks outside, but I had some 
circuit breakers in the house popping like a kid in a candy jar.
To double back on this weeks DX CW contest, I worked only on the 
vertical/Flagpole antenna, staying away from the Cobweb, until I 
"finish" the antenna. Only two more bands to tweak, before nailing it 
down.
