Comments:

Once again, I had a Field Day type antenna setup -- just too short on time to
erect towers and do other construction last summer. The antennas worked great
the first night, but the lack of robust construction proved to be a real
problem when the wind, rain, sleet, ice, snow and #&$%@ arrived Saturday.
Second night had Beverages drooping like the Golden Gate bridge and a broken
mast supporting the inverted-L. Ended up with a random 1/4-wave wire up 30-40
feet. Second night rates and mults were down of course, but at least I didn't
lose it all and was able to keep operating. A few JAs even called Sunday a.m.!

Plenty of highs and lows -- what a great contest should be!
