Comments:  Had a real great time, our first major contest effort.  We had
some power line noise when the beam was pointed due north, so we ended up
working the USA with less than optimal beam headings.  Had a 2 hour run at
100 watts due to local telephone interference, which was quickly solved by
Leonce, FM5DN, who loaned a Telephone/Fax machine to his neighbor, solving
the interference issue quickly!
