I wish I'd had more time in the contest.  The thunderstorms predicted for
Sunday never did materialize while I was active.  Wind was ferocious Sunday
morning but died in the afternoon and the weather was perfect.  Conditions
weren't spectacular but they picked up just before sunset on Sunday evening.
Thanks to everyone who had the patience to dig for my little signal.
