Comments:

Winds meant we had to crank down one of the main towers for part of the contest.
 We lost our primary amplifier first night to some unknown fault and ended up
using an old Drake L4 for the duration.  And something happened to our high
tower 40M mono-bander so we had to do with a lower 2el.  But we still bagged
110 countries and 31 zones on 40M so we managed. 

Our oddball parasitic 4-square with 1/2W end fed vertical elements continues to
perform on 80M despite being an ultra low angle radiator.  62 countries, 31
zones, and a lot of those were Europeans both long and short path. You know
you're getting somewhere with antennas when EU calls long and short path on CQ
from the west coast.

Condx were moderate.  Not our 8M score from last year but we did ok.  Was fun.
