Operators: just me
Remarks (Biggest thrill in contest, funniest story, comments, etc.): 

Limited time to operate, and had to limit my op time so I don't get yelled
at for doing ARRL CW next weekend, so played single band 10.  For 
a solar flux of
195, condx weren't as good as I expected. Decent EU opening (best 
hour was 80 at
1400Z on Saturday) though opened later than expected. No 
stateside opening, 
except for a few 6s. No JA/Asia either evening, though I heard the 
South Americans having a field day with JAs (reminds me of 
listening to K5DJ on 40 with JAs).
Speaking of South America - the point distribution seems out of 
whack for 10. The
SAs get 3 pts for each S9+ W/VE, and I get 1 point for each barely 
audible, 
backscatter W/VE I work. Doesn't seem fair, does it?  In any case, 
congrats to
XQ8ABF for a great effort (heard him over 800 Qs).

As usual, Writelog performed flawlessly. Only beef is this summary 
sheet is
formatted in RTF, and when convert to ASCII, it doesn't look quite 
right.

Club Competition: is there one? If so, Frankford Radio Club

This is to certify that in this contest I have operated my transmitter 
within the limitations of my license and hae observed fully the rules 
and regulations of the contest.
