Comments:

Part-Time & QTH/antenna not conducive to many East of the Missippi
QSOs.  Mr. Murphy visited with an intermittent short in my coax
feedline which occurred during several exchanges.  I had to go 
outside and shake the coax.  My apologies to NT6K, KU7Z and some
others that had to QRX while I ran outside and back right in 
midst of our contest exchanges.  So now you know why I simply 
disappeared temporarily!  Also heard several loud bangs but
had no clue what they were until I QSY'd and went to adjust the
tuner.  The inductor roller knob was frozen.  Strange this
would happen with only 500w.  I resorted to 100w operation for a 
while until I realized I had another tuner to use.  Duh! And
then there were the constant battles with frequently triggering 
the alarm system and the associated chaos.
