        This is a great contest!  My QSO totals seem to get better every
year.  This year it was up 32 from last year.  Also, I had 4 more
multipliers than last year.  
        I think I spent too much time on 80 and/or 40 meters and not enough
on 20.  Last year, I spent too much time trying to dig out stations on 20
when I could have been on 80 and 40.  This year, it was just the opposite.  
        The only multipliers that I heard and missed were VE2 and VE7.  I
heard a VE2 CQ'ing on 40 when everybody was on 80.  I went back to him and I
never heard him again.  As for VE7, I heard VE7NTT about 3 times, but it was
never his frequency. 
        Thanks to TDXS#2 for letting me join their team.  I really had a lot
of fun.  I'll probably be a lot better in a few years...
