Hello,.

Thanks to the sponsor of the Contest for continuing the contest for the 
second year.
This was the first contest from the K4GMH QTH since the tower and all the 
antennas were destroyed by Hurricane Isabel last September.  Unfortunately, 
the only antenna that has been installed, so far, is the 2 element 40 meter 
yagi at the top of the new tower.
Did try and use the antenna on 15 meters, but it isn't very efficient on 15 
meters and only able to work one station.  The antenna still needs final 
tuning, but did perform quite well.  Couple of surprises were being called 
by 4X/OK1FIA/P, VK6HD at 2347Z and a short time later ET3TK. Eighty Watts 
to antenna.
Forty meters on this end was very noisy. Thanks to all, especially many of 
the European stations, that were asked and were kind enough to provider 
multiple repeats.  Hopefully, additional antennas will be on the tower 
before the next contest.
