Comments:

WriteLog says 2:51 on time.  I wanted to put more of an effort in, but I was 
busy friday night, and I wasn't scoring any brownie points with the ladies 
going to do a radio contest on saturday. :)  Managed to get a away for a few 
hours anyway.  The band was NOISY here.  It was down to about s7 or s8 when I 
left, so it might have dropped even lower as the night went on.  I felt pretty 
loud for only having 100 watts and a wire of some sort.  Only about 1 or 2 
people couldn't hear me that I heard.  NEVER heard W8JI.  Must have been 
working EU or something.  Lots of GREAT ears out there.  About half of my q's 
were "heard" with the transmit antenna.  The other half were used using a 
random wire at the top of the tower (I think that's what it is).  It was 
hearing better to the south and west than my transmit antenna.  Between every 
CQ I'd have to flip the antenna switch to see if anyone was calling.  Amazing 
how many q's that added!  
Maybe see everyone in ARRL 10m from W7UQ... if I can find the free time before 
finals.
KL9A spots in ARRL 160 were not from Alaska, but IDAHO.  Please, no more emails 
asking why I didn't work you for the AK mult.  :)
73!
