Comments:

I enjoy this contest more each year since it allows the low power guys to 
call CQ and hold a frequency even on a dipole.  The only unfortunate part 
of the contest was the front which moved through which caused 
80 to be noisy and fluttery.  As a result, we shut down around 10pm CST, 
and went back on the air 10am next morning.   I feel much better about 
this years effort since with only 6.5 hrs more work, we more than tripled 
our score from last year.    

Incidently, I'm all for declaring Nebraska a DXCC country...that state is 
HARD to find!
