Comments:

We've had several big snow and ice storms in last month or so and the remote
antennas have taken a beating .  The tribander is way off its pointing direction
so I have left it towards Eu more or less.  Also SWR >3:1 on 15 and 10m.  On
15 highest power was 30 watts so missed a lot of mults.  Also the signals were
louder on 40M dipole so likely there is something wrong with the phasing line to
15 and 10m DE.  

The 160M L developed 3:1 SWR over night but tuner took care of it.
  
I slept both nights and didn't bother to get on Sat morning at all until after
breakfast having logged about 400 Q's on Friday night.  On Sun morning got on
about 10UTC and surprised to be called by KH6/N6DA and KH7M.   

Managed to squeak out a QSO with JT1CO on 40m at 22:30 Sat. Not bad for 100w and
low dipole.

I did respond to all who asked for QSY and got most of them.  

I like using LP in this one.  Ups the challenge and stays away from the BIG
scores.  Only  Joe VO1BQ  and myself on from NF and Chris VO2AC (using his
Remote)from rare LB.
