Never worked Europe on 10 meters.  But 20 meters was about the best I've
ever seen in a contest.  There was an hour or two late Friday night where it
seemed that every European I called came back.

My friend Phil N0KE, and Gary W0TM, (and Gary's friend K4FJ), helped me get
my CT program running.  It took all the fatigue out of dupe checking and
really made the contest fun.  (Gee, I never knew the CONFIG.SYS file was so
important!)  THANKS to both of you!!!
