All via S&P. No antanna for 15, so tried to eke out a few
Qs using the exciter and its tuner feeding the 20 m beam.
No resulting directivity on 15, so at least I didn't have to 
worry about rotation.

As infrequent as rain is here, it is noteworthy how often it
comes during the ARRL DX contest. Rain static wiped out 
a couple of hours on Sat evening. On Sun morning there 
was snow on the hills to the east. Maybe this was one 
instance when it was better to be below the hilltops - for
survival, not for station effectiveness.
