I intended to participate for a short while to see if Manitoba might be needed as a multiplier.  I have  only an inverted vee and low power on 40 and 80, so it is limited what I can do.  My TA33 and 100 watts worked when  I could find a clear frequency.  This finally happened on Sunday afternoon when I became a pile-up until the band started to close or I might still be there.  I have enough incentive to try again next year.  Anyone got a linear they don't want?
