OUCH!

Thanks to John N3HBX for the continued use of the farm.  Tower 3 was not
movable owing to control box issues; one Orion was spazzing out midway through
the test and one FT1000 basically died.

That was a HARD contest.  Was originally unassisted but was so frustrated by
the way things were progressing, that I decided to have fun instead and play DX
chaser.  Worked lots of DX, was called by some rare DX, got into a VERY nasty
frequency fight with an Eastern European guy, completed a six band sweep with
all of TWO stations, slept a little, and took comfort in the fact that
conditions cannot. possibly. get. any. worse. than. this.    I am a single op,
but when I hear that K3LR and W3LPLs 10 meter counts were less than my age, its
really bad.

Now I need to ponder if I'm really stupid enough to repeat this two weeks from
now................
