Antennas have not been repaired after the Dec. 1 storm, so I didn't know 
what to expect when I turned on the rig. TX antenna is a broken inv-L, 
basically a random 1/4-wave wire with maximum height around 35 feet. The EU 
Beverage is broken at the termination and most of it is buried under two 
feet of ice and snow -- but with extra preamp gain, it's still usable. Also 
have three other intact Beverages (NW, SE, W).

Conditions seemed excellent. With low power and low TX antenna height, I was 
pleased to put 6 EU stations and KH6LC in the log. Best DX was UW2M. 
Operated 45 minutes around sunrise and heard several strong JAs, but never 
got more than a "?" from any of them.

Activity sounded pretty sparse, but that's OK -- SPDXC is a fun and friendly 
operating event that just happens to include scorekeeping.
