Bud AA3B has proven he can whip me in any RTTY contest so I was looking to try
something different this year.  With the improving solar cycle I was hoping the
high bands would be good enough to support some fun operating as low power. 
Unfortunately, they weren't that good.

Started 30 minutes late. The contest was a grind from the beginning. Very few
sustained runs all weekend.  Spent a lot of time calling people.  Lot's of guys
CQed in my face.  Meant to end before the end to watch the Super Bowl pre-game,
but did that while operating.  Some good mults called in during the last hour on
40m.

It felt like activity was down, but you wouldn't know it from the QRM on 20m. 

I know my station is very loud on 20m.  I couldn't make a dent on 20m. Band was
loaded from 14078 to 14150. Skip was short so the Europeans were having their
own contest.

Best part of the weekend was the openings to Japan.  15 meters was great both
Sat and Sun evening. Even better on 15 than on 20. 

As always, it was fun and motivating to watch the online scoreboard. The scores
in WPX go up exponentially so when you get behind, it is hard to catch up!

Kudos and respect to all you guys that do RTTY contesting with 100 watts. I
don't think I have the patience for it.  :)
