Comments:
Another homebrew 1 x 8877 was tested this weekend. It worked
well after the T/R relays were diagnosed hanging for 16 seconds
after a transmission, which was the actual cause of Station #3
not hearing well. Repair was successful.  Have to spend more
time improving the tank circuit. Output was only 500-700watts.

Was fortunate to have worked on this station, because we lost
"W-Mike's" 940 on Station#2.......

Lost control of 7L10 @ 104ft late Sunday morning. It was
bound to happen. This impacted our effort with it stuck
at 200 degrees.  Couldn't run West coast or JA with it
for last 8 hours. Did use 6L10 @ 35ft. the last 8 hours.
...........You can never have too many antennas.........

This allowed us to determine the RFI cause into Station#2's
computer when 6L10 @ 35ft was pointed at the shack.(135ft away!)

Conditions were great. The winner of this event will need over 3
Million
to win.
