Comments:

Everything was going great until about 2300Z on Saturday.  I was finishing up
working JA and Pac on 15m, and ready to move to 40m to work EU.  The rotor was
frozen to the W/NW!  I spent about 45 minutes on and off trying to get it to
turn, but no luck.  That was the end of the contest for me.  First time I've
EVER been struck by Murphy.  

On a positive note, I did have a great run on 15m on Saturday morning for over 2
hours:
The best 60 minute rate was 190/hour from 1313 to 1412
The best 30 minute rate was 200/hour from 1310 to 1339
The best 10 minute rate was 228/hour from 1318 to 1327

The following stations were worked on 6 bands:
HC8N        VP9I        PJ2T        V26K        VE3YAA

Hopefully, everything will work for ARRL CW...
73,
Barry
