The 2010 ARRL International DX (SSB) contest was held over the 48 hour period from 0000Z 06 March to 2400Z 07 March. During this contest American (K) and Canadian (VE) amateur stations work as many DXCC amateur stations as possible on 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m bands. The mode for this contest is CW (continuous wave) or Morse code.
My final results for this contest were:
| Band | QSOs | Points | Multipliers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40m | 34 | 102 | 28 |
| 20m | 81 | 243 | 52 |
| 15m | 92 | 276 | 46 |

Final score: 82,680
Today I completed adjustments to my Gap Titan DX multi-band vertical antenna and took SWR measurements (using a MFJ-259B analyzer) on the five bands that I use most frequently. Here are the results from this adjustment and measurement:
