After 3 house movings it was interesting to see how the station would come together again and naturally a few items were missing (1 bandpass filter, 1 radio control). The 15m rotor would not turn at times and it wasn't until late Sunday when I noticed that the heading of both the 15m/20m Yagis was off quite a bit. However, none of this really took off the fun and I easily finished with a personal best. I just should have operated a bit more on Sunday when 15m sounded much better. 30 hours is great!
