> With the improving band conditions, we have been looking forward to the 2023
> spring series of NAQP contests.  About a week ago, I got sick and didn't feel
> like doing anything at the station all week.  A few items are on the maintenance
> list, including stringing out the feedline for three "non-mowing
> season" beverages for NW, SE, SW; replacing the balun on the KT-34 used for
> Run2 in-band S&P radio; after recent heavy rains, the 160 Inv-L is
> non-functional, cause unknown; middle C-31XR TicRing position pot needed
> replacing (finished 1.5 hrs before contest start); need new cable between EA4TX
> Interlock and K3 at position C; west beverage is deaf, either shorted
> transformer or open termination resistor.

> As for the NAQP CW contest, we gather a few more ops than normal: station
> regulars W5WZ, WM5H along with W5LA, KD5YS, and first time guest op K5TS.  We
> knew we wanted to open on 10 and 15 meters, although many times from our
> location if those bands are open they are too long to sustain good rates for
> us.
> 
> So, with that in mind, we began.
