Got on the air this weekend (Sat and Sun morning).  Had the normal
precontest problems:

2m swr off the scale.  Pulled down antennas 30 min before contest.  Ended up
only getting 6m up for Saturday and only at 30ft.  After much testing Sun
morning found that there was a problem with the feed line located in my
ceiling.  Got it swapped out and put 2m and 70cm beams back on the mast
still only at 30 ft and 6m now at about 20 ft.  70cm amp was not working
either.

Couple the problems with OK band conditions and it still was a lot of fun.

Score:

6m    39 Q's  14 Grids
2m    10 Q's   6 Grids
70cm   4 Q's   2 Grids
