Comments:

Thanks for the Contest.  Also, thanks to all the QSOs from those kind enough to
work me.  

Like the format - true DX contest!

Not as much time as would have liked for operating.  At the start of the second
segment, was adjusting the amp. when heard a "thunk".  First thought was a short
and the RFC was a ceramic rod with molten copper all over it.  Shutting down the
station, opened the amp.  Turned out the shaft coupling for a vacuum variable
capacitor slipped.  This allowed the capacitor to retract.  The "thunk" sound
was the vacuum cap. retracting.  

  73,
  Mike, K4GMH
