Comments:

My first contest in two years!  Can't believe it has been that long. 
 
I managed to repair the coax runs Saturday morning that my neighbor 
accidently mowed over while watching the QTH during my absence.  
Restrung the low 40M dipole and discovered that 10M on the high 
tribander is messed up.

The 2nd radio was fried so I replaced it.  The rotor wouldn't turn so 
the 40M and High yagi are fixed at NE and SE for the time being.

I got into the shack and couldn't get the computer to control anything, 
it looks like all the serial ports are shot so I ended up keying the 
whole contest manually (ugh).  I also was doing SO2R manually having to 
flip two switches and manually change the band on the logging program 
each time I jumped back and forth for a quick qso (ugh).  I really miss 
automation.

No 160 because I am not even sure where the feed is for whats left of 
that antenna.  So I operated the first 10 hours and didn't worry about 
leaving some time for 160M.

>From the amount of stuff broken it looks like I took a lightning hit or 
power surge while I was gone.  Oh well, will get it all fixed up sooner 
or later.
