Comments: Another VHF+ portable operating disaster for me. I wanted to get
started at contest start, 8 am, but it was pouring rain. Sat and waited for
maybe 40 minutes to get the station set up. Worked W9SNR on 1296 and 10
GHz, then a thunderstorm came up. Sat for another half hour till it cleared
out. Made a few more QSO's, with K9PW/R, K2DRH and W9ZIH. While working
W9ZIH another storm came up. Wind blew my dish over and bent it. I packed
up and went home.

At least it wasn't as bad as the January VHF contest!
:-)

73, Zack W9SZ
