Highlights of Contest: Having 5H3US call me.  Having my dipole on 40 work
really, really well.

Lowlights of contest: Having ON4UN call me on 40m but then disappear and
never give my report!  Also, having to replace the HV plate choke on my PA
in the middle of the contest.  And lastly, the poor 10m band condx!

Fun contest.  My first serious full time effort in the RTTY Roundup.

73,
