> Another year of unfavorable propagation for working the counties.  I
> went to 80M in the second hour of the contest and was getting excited
> to hear counties, but my SWR went south on the dipole during the
> second contact.  Was able to load the 160M sloper and continue but it
> limited my frequency agility requiring the tuner to be retuned to go
> from CW to SSB.  It was my weakest hour with only 38 QSOs.

> Had fun anyway.  The stations on 20 SSB were endless and hard to pull
> away from the piles but you got to do CW too if you are going to make
> the grade.  Interesting enough I asked many stations on 20 SSB to move
> to 20 CW for the mult but CW wasn't a priority.  Oh well, one QSO is
> better than none.  Hope that isn't the shape of things to come in the
