"Mr Murphy" showed up with his whole family this weekend. Spent all
my off time fixing stuff or try to minimize things that were too bad to fix at
the time.
40 meter @ 190 refused to move off of EU.
20 meter stack developed high SWR (Intermittent lightning device...)
New 20 meter 4 square wanted to be resonant at 15.6 MHz
Flex Maestro receiver decided to go dead for reasons still unknown
Plus smaller PITA things

Conditions were terrible the first night and generally bad the rest of the
weekend. The first night 160 op had about 150 Q's but only 83 pts! (Lots of
zero point US stations.)

Enough food and drink.

Thanks for the Q's.

73 de Steve, NR4M and the whole Goat Farm gang.
