Comment: My first SO effort in this contest in over 5 years.  Like
everyone else the QRN was bad (especially from 0830 to 1130 on the 28th
due to snow showers).  Had a CT3 call me put I never could pull his call
out of the crud).  I think the winner of this one will be the person
with the least busted calls due to QRN.  Had to run the amp at 400 watts
due to problems which it developed the night b4 the contest.
