Comments:

Not a serious effort from here this year.  Woke up Saturday morning at =
3:30AM
to get things operational enough to run.  Spent the day with my 4.5 year =
old
son shopping for presents for his sisters birthday, and went out to eat =
at=20
Check-E-Cheese's, and avoided spending time with my wife and daughter =
who had=20
the flu.  Got home an hour before the contest, and after a short trip up =
one
of the towers, started turning everything on 20 minutes before the =
contest.

Ten meters sounded like the place to be so I decided to start there.  =
For some
reason I started getting RF into the WX0B Six Pak box, and the relays =
were=20
going crazy.  Decided that maybe a move to 15M was more in order, and =
the=20
same thing happened.  Later while CQ'ing on 20M, I found that I could =
S&P
on 10/15 if I only used less than 300W.  Really hurt not being able to =
run
there because of terrible amount of TVI also. =20

Didn't have any really big "hours" since I kept running upstairs to help =
the XYL
with the kids, one sick, and one wired and wanting to go outside to =
enjoy our
70 degree, beautiful wx weekend. Writelog says 21:12 operated, but lots =
of 5-15
minute gaps in the log.  Spent almost all my offtimes Sunday playing =
baseball
with my son outside.

Looking forward to getting things back in shape after the lighting hit =
and=20
getting the 10/15M RFI fixed before CQWW.

73...Scott
