Comments:

Single K3, Tribander and verticals.

The contest started in a big wind storm that became a huge wind storm. 
Wind gusts to 100 klm. I lost my 40M vertical very early in the contest 
but did well on 20 and 80 on Saturday. Sunday morning I found my yagi 
was iced up and the SWR was very high and the amp kept kicking out. 
I tried to warm the antenna with with some RF from the amp at 500W and
eventually popped the balun. Why do I always find out something is stupid 
right after I do it? The yagi still worked on LP so I was at 100W on 
20 and 15 all day Sunday. My 160M antenna blew away too. It is probably 
next door under the snow.
I finished about 10% below my last year score.
Thanks to everyone in my log and good luck in 2010.
