Comments:

After 6 weeks of furniture shopping and drape hanging at the new QTH, I decided
I had earned a little contest time.  I decided this 30 miutes before the start. 
Set up my FT-857 travel rig, versa tuner, notebook computer and W9XT keyer and
was ready at the start, um, except for the 'no antenna' problem.  Hung a random
sloping wire from the top of a tree and used wire-nuts to splice in some RG-8X,
which did not reach the shack.  Used wire-nuts to splice in some RG-213 followed
by RG-6.  Took a shower, opened an 807 and started operating three hours into
the contest.  Bands sounded okay, nil on 28, had trouble being heard on 21. 
Nobody could hear me on 1.8, but the wire was only 40 feet long.  Sure missed
the big-iron station, SO2R and some decent antennas - even if the old ones were
wire, they did work.  Went to bed at midnight in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Station should be QRU for real in time for SS.  New QTH sounds very quiet, but
maybe all the noise was left behind in those wire-nuts?
