Comments:

ICE! Start of the contest: 
6m - rotator stuck due north, SWR 3:1, use 40m dipole, SWR 3:1
2m - rotator OK, SWR 3:1
70cm - SWR 1:1
Sunday morning:
6m - no change
2m - SWR 1:1 at last!
70cm - still OK
Sunday evening:
6m - SWR drops to 2:1, getting out better, then gradually goes back to 3:1
2m - still going fine
70cm - SWR goes very high then gradually drops back to 1:1

There is still some ice on trees and wires Monday morning. It wasn't thick but
it was sure noticeable. Glad this wasn't the 160m contest. The 160m antenna
resonance was way below the band with its ice load!

See you next weekend.
