Lots of work needed on the N4TZ antenna farm, with the only
band having antennas up to snuff being 15 meters.  The air
conditioning / linear amplifier transfer switch has still
not been thrown to the  summer position, so decided to go
15 meter high power.

Had to disconnect the station just over an hour into the 
contest due to loud crashes from lightning.  The power went off
5 separate times during the next hour, so went to bed. Saturday
morning worked  CR6K just after 8am and thought things were 
looking up. Was able to sorta run a few Europeans starting at 9am 
local.  Best hour was only 61 at 1400z. No Europeans on Sunday.
In fact, long stretches between 30 and 50 minutes of solid CQing
resulting in no QSOs.  Amp stayed cool; the shack and op did not 
(remember, the air conditioning power was diverted to the amplifier).

Did keep up with K9CT & K3LR 15 meter totals from their M/2 stations, 
so probably didn't miss much that was available this far North and
West.
