Rig: Elecraft K-2 5W

Antennas: 3 EL Tribander at 38 feet 10, 15 and 20
          Butternut HF-2, ground mounted, 64 radials on 40

Bands not especially great here in the US SW, and even suffered a blackout for
about an hour on Saturday afternoon.  I never heard more than 10 rather weak
signals on 10 meters during the entire event, a real dissapointment, as 10 is a
great QRP band.

Still, I had a ball and was able to hone my contest skills up a notch or two. 
Thanks to all of the big guns for making the extra effort in some cases to pull
me out. Next year better triband beam, and a 40M horizontal wire beam.
