Congrats to all the guys that made a bunch of contacts. The SWR on 10m is at 3.1 to 1, (I tried the suggested tuning method, no luck) but it still heard well and suppressed the background noise to almost nothing. I was only able to make 11 contacts in 6 hours of operating. My question is, if I don't submit my log, will the ops that contacted me still get their points?
