Comments:
Spent quality time with the spouse instead of contesting the first 22 hours of
the contest. Based on the rotten band conditions I decided to abandon the QRP
effort and go low power.
It is quite obvious I need to do something about my low band antenna situation.
Unfortunately, I am somewhat limited in my choices to fix the problem, due to
lack of real estate and restrictive covenants. And of course, the nice WX is
no more - snow expected tomorrow. So, I'll have to deal with the poor antennas
on the low bands probably until spring. AAARRGGGGHHH!!
