Comments:

We (Dave and me) spent a little more time than usual preparing for the contest. 
We even put up a multi band vertical which supposed to help with 2nd radio 
operation being far enough from the main tower. First 8 hours were really nice 
with average rate 100+/hour. Then Mr. Murphy showed up and blew up the main 
amplifier... Had to stay on 20m for a couple of hours using just TH5 at 50' 
without 2nd radio and completely lost Far East/Asia opening on 15 m. Then after 
switching amplifer from 2nd to main radio was able to use monobanders on all 
bands again, but 100 watts on the 2nd radio didn't really help... 
Congratulations to K1KI, N4AF and WX0B. Huge scores!
