Comments:

Officially SO2R, but only 19 2nd radio QSOs per TR.

Went outside 5 minutes before contest to pull up leg of 80m antenna that had
fallen, only to find that the center insulator had broken and I had to rebuild
and install antenna.  Ended up with inverted vee at 30 (!) feet, and only 45
minutes late starting.  Antenna seemed to work great though!

Was fading fast around midnight and tried to take a 30 minute power nap...woke
up at 8am...oops.  Since I knew I'd missed my 24-hour operating goal my heart
wasn't really in it, so I took off some more time.  Got tired of beating my head
against static and aurora on 80, so I quit early.

There's always next year!
