    160         1        1   ---> Crummy non-resonant dipole @ 30 ft

    --------------------------
    TOTAL     211      154    =  94,864

Highlights:  4 new countries!
             Handily beat my score from last year (~38K).
             New 10m 4-el yagi works great!  Worked everyone
             I heard (lotsa LUs).

 Lowlights:  Still using my lousy dipole on other bands.
             Little opportunity to operate over the weekend.
             Not quite breaking 100K.

I hope to have the 15m and 20m 4-el yagis up in time for CW.
I also hope to have some better wires in place for 160/80/40.
