Comments:
This was very disappointing, especially when seeing others on
my YCCC team! 10 wasn't there, 15 was very poor. 20 was fine,
but my old TS-2000 just doesn't cut it when the band is loaded.
It actually was hard to believe that some of these stations were
sticking to just 100w.
My 160/80/40 wire dipoles were very noisy, perhaps from snow
static, as the snow started around 4 PM local. I was also
switching between this and the VHF contest, which hurt both
scores. Looking forward to finally finding our "perfect place"
in Maine to put is some decent antennas.

10 HB 5el yagi @ 30ft (not that it mattered much...)
