<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I got off to a very slow start trying to get
something going on SSB. Then I discovered that the 80 meter antenna
wouldn't tune and I spent over an hour solving this problem. It was
working fine in my driveway on Friday night but the first time I tried to use it
in the contest I could tell right away that something was wrong. Without
80 CW there is no contest, so I had to spend time to fix this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>On the positive side, I had my best ever run on 75
SSB - nearly 60 stations in the space of about 40 minutes and most of them
from Ohio. This helped me to build my SSB county total to 43,
the best I have ever done. Including both CW and SSB I worked 55
counties. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Due to the 75 meter run, I stayed in Seneca a lot
longer than planned, and this, combined with the time lost troubleshooting my
antenna problem, meant that I was about two hours behind my route plan. So
instead of operating from 13 counties, I only made it to 8, and I ended up the
contest nearly 1:15 from home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Despite the problems, it was a fun day with more
lessons learned and some nice memories.</FONT></DIV>
