Comments:

Snowstorm dumped nearly ten inches of snow on this QTH and made conditions tough
here. Just having a 135' random wire 8' off the ground didn't improve the rate
either. This was a late effort to get a signal on the air so after nothing else
worked, I installed a Palstar HF-Auto Tuner to get the wire to radiate but it
was still tough sledding all Saturday evening with QSB and QRN from the storm
making repeats necessary. Had to go outside and shovel and use the snow blower
twice on Saturday and was pretty tired after that.  Was in the rack by 2330
local and didn't even get back on Sunday as there was more snow removal to do
this morning.  My kingdom for a decent antenna and enough room to put it up!
