Comments:

I arrived at Candle Lake to find that the multiband dipole had broken.  I
decided to put up a TH3 beam on a 30' TV tower to improve the performance. 
Unfortunately, the beam seems to have a problem so after all that work I had to
go back to the multiband dipole after I fixed it.

The morning the contest was to begin there was a major storm that took out the
power.  I started the contest running on battery power.  Eventually the power
returned and I was able to resume normal operations.  A lot of family visitors
kept stopping by for a chat and a drink, which meant I had to stop contesting
and socialize.  Next year with the beam fixed and a bit more focus on
contesting I should be able to at least double my QSO score.

Thanks to everyone for the QSO's and fun!
