Comments:

Congratulations to K5ZD and KT3Y for great efforts.

At K8AZ, Friday morning began with the big 6L20 and 6L15 freewheeling from the
overnight windstorm.  We then had more damage in the morning, with the rotating
tower freewheeling by noon, even while we tried to fix what what the wind had
taken down.  Thanks to help from WT8C the rotating tower and the various downed
verticals and wires got repaired, and thanks to a late afternoon climb in the
cold by K8MR, the big 6L20 and 6L15 beams got tied down at EU by 0z.

We thought the wind had killed the 10m antennas.....until 10z Sunday morning
when we swapped scores with K3LR and found out that Tim's championship crew had
amassed only seven countries to our two.  THAT felt better.  The low bands were
fantastic and huge fun, and  overall the contest was a blast.

73 from the gang at 'AZ

de Tom, K8AZ
