Comments:

Been off the air for over 2 years since moving twice.  Just got up the first
antennas at the new QTH the weekend before the contest, including a 5 band,
2-element quad, but nothing on 40 yet. So we had some fun cruising around just
trying out the new hardware. Unfortunately didn’t have that much time to be on
the air, but it was great to at least be on at all again.
 
Friday night my new rotor stopped rotating!!! Not happy.  The next day in the
day light (and the wind and the rain and the snow…) I discovered that some
porcupines that live in my woods near were my tower is, ate right through the
rotor cable in three places! A quick splice job (and got the cable off the
ground) and we were back in business.  

Big thanks go out to Curtis N2ZX, Wil NA2NA, and Dave W2GDJ, for all their help
with the tower and antenna projects
