Comments:

Score down by 14.6K this year from last. QSO down by 42. DX down by 5.
However on the bright side worked ZL1CMY, ZL3REX, and ZL6QH so the SW beverage 
installed since last year is working. Couldn't hear and ZL/VK last year. Also 
put 12 JA, 4 KH6, 6 XE, 2 F, 2 CT, 2 ZF in the log. Did not work any EU in ARRL 
160 so I think conditions were better for this contest
I was surprised not to hear VK6HD and understand he was on. Sorry to hv missed 
Mike. Sure could have used the mult.
Was also surprised not to hear/work any KL7 or NE. Where did Nebraska go. None 
for me in the CW SS either.
Heard but not worked PY0FF and M0ABC/P. Heard K5RX work both of them but no 
response here.
This is only my 2nd go round for this contest so I really dont have a feel for 
how it should go but it was fun any way. 
Hv plans for additional beverage this spring. Maybe need some more radials 
under the xmit antenna.
As always tnx to all for the QSO and hope to CU in ARRL CW.

IC765 / AL 1200
Coaxial Invt L with 30 1/4 wave radials
Beverage RX / 880' X 4

73, 
Robert L. (Bob) Gill, N5RG
