For the first time in many years, I won't be QRV in the #REF #CW contest.

My shack computer won't boot (despite having RAID, and only one drive having failed); and the direction in which the yagi is pointing is suddenly no longer correctly matching the pointer on the control box.

It's much too cold and snowy to deal with the rotator problem quickly, and the computer problem needs careful thought.

So this year I'll be sitting the contest out.
