     Comments:
        Great contest, conditions were down from last year.  
        Flew both a 5/8 wave and 1/4 wave balloon supported
        vertical.  Seemed like the 5/8 phase angle wasn't 
        worth the effort.  Thanks to the guys that provided 
        signal report differences.  Unfortunately, the wind  
        compromised the balloon effort but made taking it down
        much easier.

        See you on the SSB Contest.
