02/25/2005 | WZ1V Guess you could say I operated the first third of the contest and Murphy operated the rest. At 1000' elevation in FN31, the 60+ mph wind driven snow yanked a coax relay box loose from the tower Saturday night, disconnecting my transverters and leaving only the lower 3 bands intact. Had to use the 2M yagi on 432. Almost got used to the S7-S9 snow static Saturday but Sundays' wind and cold made the power lines sing so bad you could barely hear anyone. Thanks to everyone that stuck this one out, whew! -73, Ron -- WZ1V
