Comments:

I did not use permanent antenna installations and hoped to get them put up 
on Saturday but it rained the entire day.  Got the antennas put up on 
Sunday morning.

Conditions were rather poor here at that time through the afternoon. I did 
not work or hear people in several grids that I usually work in these 
contests. For some reason 432 was really difficult this weekend. 50 MHz 
was pretty much dead during the time I was active.

Things picked up around sunset on Sunday.  I still had trouble working 
some people but heard W3SO in FN00 and stations in EN32 and EM66 on 144 
MHz, all with decent signals. I heard many signals in the last couple 
hours of the contest on 2m but they didn't hear me. I never heard K8GP.

It was still fun!

73, Zack W9SZ
