Quit at 1430Z on Saturday morning, after the first bandchange to
10 meters resulted in a fried station control switch. It turned
out that the 10 meter antennas had water in the coax, and when
I tried to transmit into them, the high SWR blew up a switch. Took
1 hour to find the problem, another 1/2 hour to replace the switch,
then another 1/2 hour to fix the replacement switch (bad motor),
only then to realize that there was no 10 meter antenna ...
Things were going great -- never had any 80 meters like this year.
Had a super late opening after 0700 -- managed to work zones 17,
18, and 19 on answers to CQ's! Sure was a disappointment to quit.
Really feel bad for the N2RM gang having the power outage. At least
my own time all that was wasted this weekend -- not the time of
a whole crew.

A good weekend for running JA's -- but we sure missed Europe.

10m wasn't; we counted on a big 15m EU opening which didn't materialize;
20 never really took off; 40 saved the Q count with JA runs; we need
more work on 80/160 antennas and operating technique. Minor radio and
computer problems; prop pitch indicator wasn't working so at
night we pointed a spotlight at the 80/40 stack while aligning it with
compass headings marked on the window in grease pencil.
Thanks for a great contest and very fine operating by everyone. We're
already into the plans for ARRL.

For anyone who worked this station this weekend, he was in Zone 2.
I will update the CQWW.CTY file with this information.
