N3BDA Single-Op Low-Power

Operating time: 12.6 hrs (mostly daylight)

    Band      QSOs     PFXs
    --------------------------
    160         1        1   ---> Crummy non-resonant dipole @ 30 ft
     80        10       10   ---> Crummy non-resonant dipole @ 30 ft
     40        29       17   ---> Crummy non-resonant dipole @ 30 ft
     20       104       81   ---> Crummy non-resonant dipole @ 30 ft
     15        38       29   ---> Crummy non-resonant dipole @ 30 ft
     10        29       15   ---> 4-el Force 12 @ 79 ft
    --------------------------
    TOTAL     211      154    =  94,864

Highlights:  4 new countries!
             Handily beat my score from last year (~38K).
             New 10m 4-el yagi works great!  Worked everyone
             I heard (lotsa LUs).

 Lowlights:  Still using my lousy dipole on other bands.
             Little opportunity to operate over the weekend.
             Not quite breaking 100K.

I hope to have the 15m and 20m 4-el yagis up in time for CW.
I also hope to have some better wires in place for 160/80/40.
