Comments:

It's been said before....there's no meters like ten meters.  Ten kicked butt.  
Despite pretty good preparation, Murphy struck at the beginning of the contest. 
The tower with  the fixed SE antenna and various tribanders somewhere had a bad 
coax joint that would go infinite SWR when power when power was applied.  
Unfortunately I was not able to find it in the cable that was in the shack and 
didn't think climbing at 0000Z to trouble shoot was a good idea.
Beat last year's mult rate by 42, but the QSO total was down a little.  48 
hours with no sleep is tough for an old fart of 55!
