Had a tornado on the ground 20 miles away.  Since my shack is in the
basement, it wasn't a problem.  Just kept on operating.  I figured if I
had to go, I'd go during a contest!  The QRN ruined the low bands all
weekend.  The rain static was in and out all weekend.

The highlight was a strange 10m opening to Europe for about 90 minutes
around 1800Z Sunday.  It started by working a weak CT, then an I, then the
band broke loose into OH and, at one point, worked 10 OH's in a row.
Congratulations to OH6WW...he was literally s9 plus 10dB on 10m.

73,
Larry K4AB
