     (609 qso's, 41 mults)

 Equipment:  Yaesu 757GXii with JPS NIR-12 dsp
             Ant. on 80 - 40:  Butternut Vert, Inverted V
                     20 - 10:  A3A Tribander at 50 ft.,
                               R5 at 55 ft. (above the A3A)

     Soapbox: This was the first contest I've been in since redoing
              the antenna system.  Also, the dsp filter arrive late
              friday, so got it working but wasn't to familiar with
              it.  Worked good on ssb, not so good on cw.  Now after
              reading the manuel, I know why!  High-lite of the
              contest for me was having several good runs on 15 and
              20 ssb.  I'm not normally known to have a good signal
              on either band.  Hopefully the R5/A3A was part of the
              reason, but the bands were in really good shape too.=20
              First time that I've spent more than just a couple of
              hours on this contest; Think I will be back next year
              with a strategy for multiplier hunting.(!)
