Not many contacts, but am still putting the station together.  Was still putting up antennas on Saturday.  Lowered the tower with the 20 meter beam on it and found the top section was bent.  Tried to crank it back up and broke the cable so it was stuck at 20 feet pointing East, so didn't get to work any Eu. stations.  Put some twinlead on the 80 meter dipole to load it on 20, but still didn't hear any Eu.

One really neat thing--I was tuning on 40 meters about 0500Z and saw on my screen, "KRIFJGHHAMI CQ",  in the noise. Thought AMI must be ZL2AMI and gave him a call and lo and behold, it was him, and he heard my peanut whistle.  Thanks for the only DX contact I had.
