Operated strictly S&P using my homebrew LDMOS PA driven by my IC-7200 – while tending to the woodstove in my shack to stay warm.

Antennas: 10/15/20m SteppIR beam; 40m Rotary Dipole; 75m Full Wave Horizontal Quad Loop.

Nice to find and work HI, AK, PR, VI, DE, EWA and other hard to find US sections – but missed several of the ever-growing list of Canadian sections. This year a clean sweep required 84 sections and I only worked 78 without assistance…
