Comments:

Personal best for me in NAQP CW.  Up until start time, it looked like I would 
be putting in a part-time effort.  Situation changed, thankfully.  Only 
compromise was taking all off-time at once... had to attend suprise 40th 
birthday party for one of my neighbors.  Overshot off-time by 12 minutes.  
Can't complain too much with the way things worked out... came back on in 0200z 
hour and qso rate soared, especially on 80.  Best hour (0300z) was 93.  Guess 
those cold 807's that I had during the break didn't hurt too much ;) ;)

It seems that competition is pulling away, especially ops who've adopted SO2R.  
I still feel that I have room for improvement as a SO1R op, and will try to 
pursue these areas before going SO2R.  Besides, another rig is not in the 
current station budget.

A big thank-you to all those stations who qsy'd for me.  Only a few couldn't, 
and most common reason given was lack of antenna.

Rig: TS-930, PIEXX cpu board, IRCI matched cw filters.
Ant: TH6 @ 85', KT34A fixed east @ 35', 40m rotatable dipole @ 93', 80m 
inverted vee, apex @ 80', 160m quarter wave sloper.  All on 84' R45g tower.
Logging s/w: TR

73 es tnx for the q's and the great time!
Charlie  N9CO
