 Michigan moves up to #4 from #5, MD up to #7 from #9 and
 IN up to #10 from #15. 
 Missed: Id, Sd, Org, Nwt, Ak, Pr, Nl
 Missed: 27 known Domestic Ops heard and 3 DX. SP7GIQ popped up
  on my run frequency S-7 but I couldn't get his attention.
  Same thing for YV5JDP on 1823.6 with no takers, couldn't raise
  him either. 

 Soapbox Comments
 ________________

 My 2nd run at this one.. This time Low Power due to my new
 secret antenna project "under construction". 45 Min. before the 
 contest I was out in the field trimming 15' off the big "L"
 and was able to tune it to 3:1 with the tuner in the shack.
 The 2nd afternoon I trimmed another 15' off and was able to
 tune it down to around 2:1 with the tuner in the shack. Have
 only 2 elevated radials deployed. At the end of day 1 I was 
 only 19 Q's behind last year's HP effort and 4 mults ahead!
 Picked up many mults on the 2nd radio and found that I could
 S&P within 15khz below my CQ frequency. (Viva Low Power!)
 Thanks to K1AO for egging me on at the last as I surpassed
 last year's #2 finish in the LP category. Hopefully this 
 will be an upper top-ten finish! Can't wait to try the
 1/4 wave folded unipole that is under construction too!
 Congratulations to the many TCG ops and top finishes.
