                80M dipole (Fri. and Sat. night; wind blew it down some time
Sun.)
                40M dipole
                A-3S on rooftop, app. 45 ft.

Comments:       Wife didn't "read the refrigerator" so she didn't know this
was a                 contest weekend and scheduled an outing Saturday
night. Bummer. Lost a                 chunk of prime operating time.
Wondered why 80M dipole would not load                 Sunday night and
discovered Monday morning that the wind (cold front                 came
through) made something break and the antenna came down. I'm
convinced this is the best DX contest for single op low power.
