Comments:

My worst contest ever. Multiple ice storms prior to the contest damaged my
antennas. The first snapped my 2M yagi in half. I was able to straighten some
bent loops and stuff but not all. Still, I got all 6 bands working FB for the
contest. I couldn't operate the entire contest. Had to bag it early Saturday
night after getting a nagging chill. I think I had only 23K at that point.
Didn't get started Sunday until around 8:30 am, completed my one and only WSJT
sked with N0PB EM39 on both 6 and 2. Caught a small 6M Es opening late Sunday
morning to the west which was most welcome. Missed 3 hours Sunday afternoon due
to snow duty. I was just starting to think positive after working W3OR FM28 on
903 when my 1296 transverter blew out. Of course, almost no one wanted to run
bands with me until I lost 1296, then everyone wanted to run, go figure.
Nonetheless, there were some bright spots, like working WA2RQC in rare FN23,
and KN4SM FM16 on the lower 4. Also hearing old friends K2TXB (at K1JT), and
AA2UK back in action. Time to move on, Thanks to all who got on, see you in the
Spring Sprints (hopefully).
