Soapbox: Don't know how I missed this test over the last few years, 
but decided to enter this year.  Thought a 500 Q goal was reasonable 
and was happy to find band conditions much better than expected..  
High bands were good to very good, although 10M wasn't as strong as 
I expected.  Spend a little too long on 15, but those 100+ rates per 
hour are attractive.  As always, low bands on a city lot are a major 
challenge - especially with only wires on 40M (and a little TVI to 
annoy the wife) and low wires for 80/160.  Great fun anyway!  Thanks 
to all those who dropped by for a Q - greatly appreciated!

See you all in the next one ... Bart
