Comments:

Boy, conditions were really BAD. Got on at the contest start, but gave  
up after about 15 minutes. Got on again early Saturday morning, but  
only managed about 10 contacts in an hour and a half. Things seemed to  
open up a bit after sunset on Saturday. Unfortunately, I couldn't  
operate the second 24 hours.

Complicating this was the decision to go phone-only, then discovering  
that the microphone in my BM-10 was not working. It appears that the  
HC-4 element may have just given up the ghost. Had to use my MC-50  
microphone instead.
