Soapbox : 

 You've probably heard almost all the horror stories from the New England
area by now. My story is no different. I did the first evening from K0TV's
station in Hudson, NH. Rough going as his station sits idle all spring,
summer and fall so inevitably this contest becomes a huge shakedown
cruise. Probably did no more than 100 or so Q's overnight on 40M.

 Saturday at home became this huge rush to batten down hatches before the
snow started. And snow it did, right on schedule. The weathermen called this
event almost to the minute.

 Fired up a log from the home station after hearing K0TV shut down his 
operation for the duration because he had already lost power,
made one Q and then lost power.

 After a very difficult Saturday evening listening to trees and limbs
crashing all around us, I woke up Sunday morning to the devastation.

Spent most of the day with the neighbors wielding chainsaws and tending
to the generator. My powerline drop was partially ripped off the house.
Not much I  could do about it. Power was down to the entire region.

 Finally late in the afternoon retreated to the house, fired up the shack on
the gen an made the remainder of my Q's. Band conditions seemed awesome even
with my tower in the down position. Managed to bump into a old friend
OK1DIX operating from C5A, Lada took the time to say hello and, finally, I
had a brief but pleasant chat with Anne, WA1S who was operating at
NQ4I. She obviously had heard what was going on and asked how I was doing.

All is back to normal now, whatever that is. 

CU in the next one,

Ken
WO1N
