Well, my contesting didn't last very long today.  Looking up at the 
antenna revealed the coax connector was ripped out of the wooden 
spreader for the quad driven element.  That would explain why N9TTX was 
S9 when I started and less than S1 later.  Hate when that happens!  Now 
I am DOUBLE handicapped...no antenna for 432 and only 5W on 222...so...I 
will be tuning around on 222 for the rest of the contest.

Bummed in Bloomer,
