Comments:
 
This was not an easy contest - maybe painful is a better description. The  
power line noise here was at an all time high due to the cold and dry 
weather.  There was no direction that was not a problem. I could not hear the  
usual weak backscatter signals on 20, 15, or 10 which are so important for  the 
mults in this contest. Many stations answered CQ's that I simply could not  
pull out of the QRN.
 
I used N1MM logging software for the first time - it works fine - but  my 
weak SO2R skills were not helped by my incorrect setup of  options!
 
Thanks to W4IX for the help with the 40 meter antenna repair, to  K1ZZI for 
the SECC team(s) organization, and thanks to all for the Q's  and mults.
