Was only looking at a casual operation this weekend so wasn't really
prepared.  Started the contest with 102, 97, and 97 hours.  Decided then
that this might be fun to do a little more serious.  My wife had other
plans for me, like getting everything ready for our baby that is due next 
week!  Was at about 90% for the contest though, and operated more casual 
than most, even taking 5 minute breaks for pit stops, and XYL checks.
Looks like I got smoked by KI1G, and then there were a lot of SB20 guys
close together in the heap after that.  New call was really fun to use, but
next 
year I think I'll get a fancy 2X1 for my "Whipix Contest Club."   Its no fun
for those
guys when their tenth K8 calls.  See you next year in the all band category!
