Comments:

We operated from an unheated cottage on Keuka Lake.  With plastic on the
windows, space heaters, ducting the dryer heat into the building and the heat
from four computers and rigs, we were able to raise the 32 degrees to 70
degrees during the contest.  This contest would be much better if it started
and ended two hours earlier.  Conditions were very poor at the start and 75/80
never opened to the left coast for us.  We operated Field Day style with
inverted Vee antennas we hung in the trees with the temperature in the low 30's
and a light rain falling.  We installed a long wire for use on 160 but couldn't
get anyone to hear us.  Next year we will have to install a better 160 antenna
as we lost out on a lot of Q's.  We had a bit of snow on the tops of the trees
and we never saw the sun until taking down the antennas on Sunday morning.  It
was a beautiful drive back to Pittsburgh while listening to the Steeler game on
the car radio.
