Comments:

My first CW SS since 1990. My apologies to Tree. I had promised him last 
year to operate considerably more of this contest, but events conspired 
against me. (Read, my wife had other plans this weekend - namely moving 
all her stuff out of her former office)

What little operating time I got considerably improved my CW skills. 
Thanks to all who copied my rotten, grotty, hand-sent CW. You are truely 
fine ops.

Spent Saturday at a local hamfest selling off some of my old stuff to 
finance my radio hobby. Since I cleared almost $700, I splurged and 
bought an R7000. This will eventually be the second radio antenna, but 
for now will do service alongside the dipole as the main antenna.

See you all in SSB SS with a full, 24 hour effort! (Spouse is on notice 
this time!)
