Comments:

Radios: Tentec Orion, Elecraft K3 â?" 100 watts

Antennas:
      160m: 42m tower with 6 elevated radials at 22m
        80m: 5 sloping dipole array from 41m tower
           Delta Loop NE-SW
        40m: Moxon at 42m
           Lazy H at 40m NW-SE
        20m: 4L at 30m and 24m fixed NE
           204BA at 17m fixed NW 
      10m: 5L at 19m fixed NE
      10/15/20m: 3L SteppIR @ 41m (damaged cable - reflector only on 20m)
           4L SteppIR @ 23m
           TH3jr at 13m fixed SE             
      Beverages: 230m NE, 160m NW

Other: Homebrew SO2R box, TR4W log

The bad:
      Unable to repair control cable on SteppIR damaged Thursday
      Thunderstorms first day. 160 and 80 almost useless, off 2 ½ hours
      Internet down for the weekend after storm â?" XYL not happy
      80 meters quieter Saturday evening but propagation poor
      No European opening on ten Sunday, only fair Saturday

The good:
      Appear to have set new 5th call area low power record
      Great propagation to JA on all bands â?" 611 worked, 119 on 10
      2 AM 20 meter opening to Europe Sunday. 177 QSOs in 80 minutes
      Another great ARRL DX contest

Hoped to break 3 meg but thunderstorms and less than stellar ten meter
conditions to Europe stymied that. Maybe next year. Strange that ten was very
good to JA but marginal to Europe Saturday and nothing on Sunday. High point
was finding 20 meters open to Europe at 2 AM local time Sunday. With few W/VE
stations on the band at that time it was like being rare DX with a huge pile up
for over an hour. Fun but exhausting â?" makes me appreciate those DX stations
who can do that rate for hours on end. 

Lots of statistics below for anyone listed.
