Fun contest! First serious effort from N5YA's (formerly N5CMI) almost 
completed 30 acre antenna farm/contest station up in Fannin County 
Texas. Unfortunately the 160 antenna failed before the first QSO! Hated 
to miss those all important multipliers. 10M was disappointing. Got to 
learn to move mults! Thanks to N5YA for use of the station and to KD5BDL 
for helping N5YA attempt to repair the 160M antenna in 15 deg. temp! 

73, Ron
