 Equipment: FT-840, FL210B, MFJ-784B DSP FIlter

 Soapbox: Not a lot of time to operate. We had another storm blew
         in on Friday night and took half the driven element off the
         20 meter beam. 76 MPH winds and antennas don't mix!  Got it fixed 
         early Saturday morning and worked the Eu. opening. Saturday 
         night there was thunder and lightning all around so had to 
         unplug everything and quit. Watched the Olympics instead.
         Was good to see 10 open up again.  40 seemed good but there
         was a lot of QRN Saturday night. Thanks for the contacts. 73
