Comments:

Without 10M in the mix, score was off by a bit from my stretch target of
140,000. Beat my 2010 score in 4.5 fewer hours thanks to strong 15M, 20M and 40M
bands.

Realistically, I think the bands were in better shape than expected. 15M was
pretty great, and while I left 40M until Sunday, it turned out to be the
high-performing band for me, producing lots of Qs and mults on Sunday afternoon
(went there at 2100z which is at least an hour earlier than I usually leave the
high bands). Added mults NL, NB and PE in the final 10 minutes by doing what I
need to do more of -- tuning occasionally instead of running all the time.

80M was okay but not super good here. The single vertical has been in use for a
year and while it's easier to maintain, results haven't been as strong as the
steerable triangle of verticals I was running. In the spring I will rework the
three-element array to get it back in action for next season.

Thanks for playing in the RAC Winter. Now for the Stew, the RTTY Roundup to kick
off a whole new (and better) year! Merry Christmas, happy holidays and let's go
get 'em in 2021.
