About a week ago, I got sick and didn't feel</span><br><span>like doing anything at the station all week. A few items are on the maintenance</span><br><span>list, including stringing out the feedline for three "non-mowing</span><br><span>season" beverages for NW, SE, SW; replacing the balun on the KT-34 used for</span><br><span>Run2 in-band S&P radio; after recent heavy rains, the 160 Inv-L is</span><br><span>non-functional, cause unknown; middle C-31XR TicRing position pot needed</span><br><span>replacing (finished 1.5 hrs before contest start); need new cable between EA4TX</span><br><span>Interlock and K3 at position C; west beverage is deaf, either shorted</span><br><span>transformer or open termination resistor.</span><br><span></span><br><span>As for the NAQP CW contest, we gather a few more ops than normal: station</span><br><span>regulars W5WZ, WM5H along with W5LA, KD5YS, and first time guest op K5TS.
