Comments:

This was very disappointing, especially when seeing others on 
my YCCC team!  10 wasn't there, 15 was very poor.  20 was fine, 
but my old TS-2000 just doesn't cut it when the band is loaded.
It actually was hard to believe that some of these stations were
sticking to just 100w.

My 160/80/40 wire dipoles were very noisy, perhaps from snow 
static, as the snow started around 4 PM local.  I was also 
switching between this and the VHF contest, which hurt both 
scores.  Looking forward to finally finding our "perfect place"
in Maine to put is some decent antennas.

Rig: TS-2000
Antennas:
   10  HB 5el yagi @ 30ft (not that it mattered much...)
   15  Rotatable Dipole @ 33ft ()for mu 1 Q)
   20  HB Moxon @ 36ft 
   80/40/160 Modified AD DX-CC fed at 30', with 160
        added "zig-zag" around back yard
       (160 avg height ~ 15')
