     Soapbox:  Got started 5 hrs late, but it was my best start ever
               in a CW contest.  Averaged around 58 q's/hr to start.
               Maybe not good for the pros, but for this little 
               pistol, it was great!  Band was excellent both
               nights, but QSO's were hard to come by the last 10 hrs.
               Contest highlight: the 160 mtr. contest.  Lowpoint:
               realizing that we have to wait a year for another one!
               By far, the most enjoyable contest of the year.
               
               Equipment: Yaesu ft-757GXii
                          JPS nr-12 dsp (very good for cw s&p'ing)
                          inverted V at 48 ft. (worked great!!!)
                          Tower with 2 elevated radials (not so hot)
                          Lots of patience late in the game.
     
     I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations for
     amateur radio  in my country.  My report  is correct and true to the
     best of my knowledge.  I agree  to be bound by  the decisions of the
     ARRL Awards Committee.
