Well, that was fun. It was too cold here to rotate my antenna so I missed a 
few DX contacts that I could hear. I did manage Japan, Argentina and also 
Spain, with some difficulty. T88HA and OH7KUD could not copy me.

Sure, you have heard of TVI, but this contest helped me discover a new type 
of interference, COMI  -  CO Monitor Interference. It happened on 40 metres 
when I was running about 500 watts. My digital Carbon Monoxide Monitor 
started beeping, and would not stop. It is back on the job now, after 
spending the night in the snowbank.

My score is meagre, but each and every qso was precious. Thanks everyone and 
thanks to SARTG for sponsoring this contest.
