Comments:  This was my first 1,000 q DX contest.  The condx were not good,
but I still had a lot of fun.  I live along a busy street in a populated area
and I have a lot of noise.  The noise is the worst when the antennas are
pointed parallel to the street,  which just happens to be the heading for JA.
 I missed several stations calling me on all bands due to this problem.
  Dont have a 160m ant yet, and was only able to work 2 XE's and a KH6.  My
father and I tried to fix our 6 ele 10 m ant last weekend, but we were
unsuccesful.  But 10 never did open up.  Only worked 2 LU's, and ZD8Z.  I
think my low mult total is due to the fact that I cant go in the low part of
the band, but that will change by next year.  Only worked one all time new
country,  GJ.

Highlights:  Being called by XU2FB and XU6WV on 40m.  Being called by XX9TR
and 9M2OM on 40 & 80m,  and working 10 BV's on 40 m.
