Comments:

Of the the 147 QSO's and 42 countries worked 80 meters, only one was out of zone 14. Condx to EU from here, on 80 meters, from either WX QRN or band conditions, were dismal. But everything else was perfect- And I had a blast on 10 meters- I'd like to suggest 2 constructive comments to a minority crowd out there: 

1. If you are in the USA and you need a USA zone, you ought to try and find one before the last hour of the contest.  

2. If you are a DX station running stateside, giving out your call helps- 

It was comical experiencing the stress of these two types of scenerios-

Only had one equipment snafu- my 40 meter antenna shorted out on the first night after the wind blew something against the coil wedging it against the antenna-  

Other than that, I have no excuses- 73 Paul  N0AH
