Comments:

Had several contests without Murphy, but he came back this time. QTH of OE4A was
almost the only place in Austria with snow, no real snow but hoarfrost. All
antennas were covered with several centimeters of ice, so the 160m dipole was
resonant at 1.600 kHz. Another wire antenna was so heavy, that it blocked the
2nd highband yagi, what we did not see during the night. The rotor controller
burned out, antenna stuck to north for the whole contest. Still happy with the
result. 3 hours after the contest the temperature rose and on monday morning
all the ice was away, 160m antenna worked perfect again. 
Special thanks to Rai, OE4RLC, for giving me the chance to operate this contest
from his station again.
