 Comments:  Great Fun!!  Two weekends in a row with no visit from Murphy
and  back to back, CW and SSB, new personal all-time NAQP best score.   I
had many times during the contest where I wanted and needed the "second
radio".  I had slow CQ rates but not slow enough to warrant H & P.   I
could see where a second radio to H & P would help with the QSO rate and
MULT total.   Perhaps, some day, that need will become a reality.  

Best Hour: Hour #1 - 97 Q's  (I am in awe of the op's like K6LL & AD6DO
that AVERAGE 100+ per hour!!) 
Highlight: Beating my previous best NAQP SSB score by over 20K points.  
Disappointment: Very poor early evening 75M conditions and 40M going long
too early.

73,  Jerry, AB5SE
