Comments:

Bah humbug!!  A dismal, part-time effort in one of my favorite contests. 
Clobbered by Murphy.  Sleep deprivation before the contest, equipment problems,
and antenna problems (detuning from the rain and ice) added up to a total,lousy
performance.  The TS-940 quit transmitting before the contest, STILL no word on
the K3 that I ordered during "Dayton"(this is getting quite tiresome), so had to
use the old TS-430 and an old MFJ tuner that did not like to tune much on "160."
 Much of the time, output was about 50 watts.  The "160" antennas had been
working fine a week ago.

All QSOs via S&P.  Was trying to "salvage" the outing by getting a WAS. 
Managed a CWAS (contiguous), but missed KH6 (briefly heard as KH6 was in S&P
mode)and KL7 (never heard).  Also missed SB, SDG, SF, (did not hear many 6's),
NL, MB, NWT, and PR (never heard any of these).  Mangaed to snag a few DX QSOs.
 Finally just gave up -- not much fun this time around.
