Interesting contest.   Here I thought being in the black hole was tough with
the 10M contest in December but this was way worse.   I found the 2m Jpole
that is laying flat on the roof worked best on this one as it was somewhat
horizontal except for the roof pitch. :)  My goal was to help those that are
serious with this contest gather a couple more Qs.   Lots of firsts in this
one.

First time doing this contest
First time contact on 2m SSB with J-Pole laying down on the roof under the
snow
First time contact on 70CM using SSB.
First time rigging up a temp 6m antenna in the shack to gather a couple Qs.
First time in the last 2 weeks to make it though a weekend contest without a
migraine to shut me down.


Looking forward to the next one!  I think this would be more fun mobile so I
probably will be doing that next year.  Anyhow, I still had a good time with
this contest.

See you all on MNQP!
