Antennas: 20m - 1/4 wave vertical 
          Other bands - multiband doublet at 30 ft

Comments: Real problems on 40m - computer kept crashing every time
          I tried 40m (even with 5 watts). Eventually got on that band
          with 60 minutes of the contest remaining and got my best rate!
          Overall there were plenty of stations to work and exchange QTC's.
          LZ3RR/QRP was impressive typing his QTC's by hand.
          Big surprise was J7 calling me on 40m with 25 minutes to go.
          Thanks to all for QSO's and QTC's.
          Should have my new call - 5B4AGW for next contest.
