Comments:

Got home from work late on Friday afternoon, so didn't get any 20M action. Went
to 40M to start at 0213z and made 4 Qs before heading to 80M. Was on and off in
little bits totalling about an hour.

Saturday morning at 1700z tried running LP, but not a lot of action. Turned on
the amp, made some Qs. Things were starting to really go at 1730z with a few
4-Qs-per-minute.

And then the power went out. It stayed off for five hours. And it was -25C
outside (still is). Kept warm by the fireplace and cooked hotdogs with the
kids. 

Power back on and I headed to 40M at 2330z, and worked a few EUs and ran some
Ws before the closing bell at the top of the hour.

p.s. power went out again at 0020z -- 4:20 p.m. and dark out, windchill at
-35C. Stayed off for another few hours again. Official explanation for both
outages: voltage overload. Sheesh. I only run the SB-220 with 40w input and in
120v mode.
