Third clean sweep in a row!!  I ran more than I s&p. I am getting much better at calling CQ. In fact, I probably enjoy it more. It seemed that I got off to a slow start until I got into the groove. I got my sweep in Sunday afternoon when I finally worked OK. N5XE was calling CQ (nice call OM!). Thanks to WM3O (K3LID) for messaging me on where NT was calling.   New this year was the SB1000 amp running about 600W.  That combined with the Hexbeam proved to be a nice combo.  Also new this year was the Heil Pro Set Elite that I picked up from Universal Radio on Saturday. What a nice set of headphones. I am looking forward to SSB Sweeps now with it.   Murphy arrived twice this year. The first visit was the software I had failed to change bands a few times when I changed bands on the radio. This caused a headache where I had to go back and edit all those contacts. I got it fixed.    The other thing was I had the antenna switch on the wrong antenna when I was on 40M. I thought I had it on the dipole but it was still on the beam. I had the amp going. Amps make funny sounds when you have it going into an unmatched load! Bzzzttt! Crackle! Buzzzz!! Luckily, there was no POP! or smoke.  The amp is still fine and outputting full power.  On 10M, I just called CQ without the amp to see how well I would do (also did this on 15). Turned out pretty good.   As is our tradition, N8CPA and I had out contest chili and "contest water" on Sweepstakes Eve and our on the air toast 15 minutes prior to the start of the contest.   I am already looking forward to next year!
