Comments:

 

I spent several hours getting setup for the contest and the night before
everything was good.

I was all ready to contest as SO SSB HP.  That changed quickly.  First test
call about 5 mins before

the start and my amp failed.  After about 30 minutes of trying to find out
what happened and trying

to get the amp working (being on an Island resources are short). I gave up
and decided SO SSB LP 

would be my class.  Late start and lost of HP but at least I am contesting.
That was short lived.  

Everyone here on the Island AC lost power.  Hasn't happened for months.  The
power would come on 

and go off in about 15 minute spans.  That lasted for 5 hours!  Sometime
shortly after noon the 

power stayed on.  I was able to work until about 1am when a large electrical
storm started.  One of

those where you don't need your lights to see.  This lasted until about 5am.
Of course bands

had closed down from here and I just worked hard for the last few contacts.
I had a great run

on 20 meters so I just stayed there for most of the time.  But I had a great
time and made contacts

with several club members and a tuff day contesting is better than a good
day at the beach.

Well that may be stretching it a bit.  73...   Keith, XE3/K5ENS
