Soapbox:

My first time in the Roundup.  Originally set a goal of 200 Qs, based on my
experience in a few other RTTY contests.  Hit the first 200 in about 5
hours and knew this was not like any other contest...  My total number of
Qs far surpassed my expectations; could have been another 100 or so better
if I had worked the entire 24 hours.

Couldn't find much DX except for Sunday A.M. on 15m - seemed awfully
reminiscent of the poor condx in CQWW SSB... But it was probably just that
my G5RV won't drag 'em out of the noise like a nice TH7-DXX up 75 ft
would... However, on the plus side, not a single complaining neighbor
showed up (the 5 degree F temps, sub-zero wind chill and snow probably
helped keep them away too...) 

The contest was a real blast and Writelog performed flawlessly (again!).
Hats off to Wayne, W5XD, for the absolute best contest logger around!  See
you all next year.
