Comments:

One of the few SSB contests worth the effort. Condx disappointing compared to
the CW weekend with K at 4, but still decent. EU openings strong on all high
bands both days. Low bands sucked as expected. All S&P with the second half
using 100w after Murphy came knocking. Both amps decided to stop working for yet
unknown reasons. LP means having to time your calls waiting out the pileups. Too
many mults missed.

Almost decided to pass on the entire event when I found the shack floor all wet
with seeping water from somewhere. Spent over an hour looking for the source to
no avail. Long hard winter here with lots of snow everywhere.
