Comments:

Only a limited time to operate this contest. Put in about 2.5 hours  
Friday night, 1.0 hours Saturday morning, 3.0 hours Saturday night.  
Planned to operate more on Sunday afternoon, but my friend Jim  
invited my family to go boating up at the lake. That's just something  
we don't turn down.

Ran a little bit of power, which made the stations easier to work,  
and made CQing productive. Had several good runs. Ran about 400 watts  
on 20 and 40m, and about 200 watts on 80m. Didn't want to risk  
blowing out the matching network for the shunt by running lots of power.

Didn't have a chance to check out 10 or 15m. 20m was barely open  
Saturday morning, and was closing on Friday and Saturday evenings  
when I got on.

Have really enjoyed working RTTY -- it's an incredibly fun mode. I  
wish the bands had more RTTY activity between contests.
