Comments:

There was 14 inches on snow on the ground at the beginning of the contest. On
Saturday night the temperature went to -10 degrees. And another foot fell late
Sunday evening. Luckily we had no antenna or rotor problems. But the bad wx and
the league scheduling this contest on the same weekend as another major contest,
the CQ 160 CW contest, did affect the number of participants. 
     The 222 rig was fixed and we were able to work CW, as well as SSB and FM.
Also W3SO now has a Henry Amp for 222. It was run at 400w. Complete station
details are at www.qrz.com/w3so. 
      Again thanks to the rovers for the QSOs and we look forward to the QSOs in
June.
