This contest was a total disaster from the very begining. Thunder storms
Friday evening, Saturday morning and Sunday morning. Plus having to use the
IC-735 that has little or no filtering along with the summer line noise I
get at this qth.  With no filters to use, it was almost impossible to work a
call. If I heard a call and no one got close to the signal, I worked it.
But, if someone was close, it garbled the print and I was out of luck.  In
the first 2 hours I had 15 calls in the log. I worked a few more during the
2nd section and then gave up as the thunder storm was really bad. The good
news is that we got 3.5 inches of much needed rain. I will turn in this
indecent score so that the 21 calls I worked will get the credit.
