Comments:

I re-located my ten meter antenna from the shack to the attic over the garage. 
Everything was set to go but then I had a very high SWR on ten at the beginning
of the contest.  I checked it several times on Saturday but the same thing.  So,
Saturday was spent on 15 meters.  For the heck of it, I check the ten meter
antenna Sunday morning and it worked!!!  So, Sunday was spent on ten.  I worked
all of EU and, unfortunately, the garage door as well.  One more issue to
resolve.  The noise on 80/40 Friday night was terrible but decent signals.  The
noise went down Saturday and things were back to normal Sunday.  Really
surprised to work Zone 23 (JT1) and Zone 24 (BD1) Sunday morning.  Tons of fun
and can't wait to do it all again. Thanks - 73  tom    Rig = TenTec Eagle @ 100
Watts.  Antenna = an Isotron-80 for 80 meters, a mag Loop (40 thru 15), a 10
meter dipole, all in the attic above the garage.
