Comments:
Very part time effort. On Friday the mast-to-rotor clamp failed and the antennas
started spinning in the wind. I went up the tower, in a blizzard, and fixed them
but the bearing was off. Took a while to set up the rotor properly to reflect
the new offset.
Then a couple of hours into the contest a strong QRN S9+20 developed and wiped
40m for a couple of hours. While waiting for the QRN to go away, I discovered
that I have been sending zone 5, instead of 4, for a while! It killed my desire
the do anything.
To top it off, we lost power on Sat morning for about 4 hours. That killed any
remaining desire to play seriously.
Lot's of station improvements required for the spring.
