Comments:

Congrats to W4PA who put it to me again with 1/2 the station.  

Spent most of the day on a tower fixing things.  Luckily it wasn't raining or I 
would have been QRT for sure.  Everything fixed about 60 minutes before the 
contest.  

I wasn't one with TR this time out.  Work kept from practicing the week before 
the contest.  Definately hurt me.  Hopefully I will achieve TR-Zen in 
September.  

One kinda big problem was when I QSY'd to 80, I had a infinate SWR.  Really 
strange considering I had tested it right before the contest.  Lost a couple of 
minutes to fixing the problem which I believe was a lightning arrestor.  
Luckily I didn't lose my mind over it and got right back in step.  

Notes to self:
--------------
- Practice TRLog starting 14 days before the Sprint.  Run every conceivable 
situation.
- Don't ever try to edit a logged QSO in TRLog.  Make note instead.  
- Pointing one yagi straight south after the first hour on 20M definately 
helps!

119 band changes I think.
