Equipment Description: Yaesu FT-1000, Force 12 C-4 @ 78', 
Force 12 EF-180B @ 73' 1/2 Wave Sloper for 160 Meters.

Club Affiliation: Central Arizona DX Association

Comments: Conditions in Arizona were better during WPX than the ARRL DX
contest. 
I didn't get bothered by the International broadcasters on 40 meters.
Rain Static 
took me out on the first night and 20 meters in the morning has been the
pits.
My neighbors love me since going QRP for contests. I improved my score
from last 
year by 59%. This was due to doubling my tower height and working mults
on the low
bands. I'm ready for next year.... look for the sunspots.

This is to certify that in this contest I have operated
my transmitter within the limitations of my license and have
observed fully the rules and regulations of the contest.
