This is to certify that in this contest I have operated
my transmitter within the limitations of my license and have
observed fully the rules and regulations of the contest.

Did not get CTRY update so VQ5 on 5 bands may neutralize 
dupes and errors, I hope.

Got to take up yoga or other discipline and activity so easier to sleep; I find
contests excite me to the point I lose sleep before test instead of banking
sleep, and typically start out sleep deprived. Missed best hours sun am as could
not wake up or XYL killed alarm. Anybody using toe-buzzer alarm?

Happy Contesting;  Tho in principle wires and tower give most bang for the buck.
I'll' soon receive an Orion for sparing of ears, hotter rx and  and hopefully
give somewhat better results until Better antenna configurations are set up.
Also expect learning new toy wil be a challenge, but let me be more effective
once in tune with it!
73 All, 
Dennis Scolamiero,
N1DS
