Comments:

My first attempt in this contest. Had a good time, but wish there was a little 
more activity. I read the quirky rules several times before (and during) this 
contest - and was still scratching my head as people either didn't QSY or 
didn't know the exchange. Oh well... 

As I am in the process of showing my QTH (it's for sale), my XYL is enforcing a 
strict antenna ban. So, for this one, I drove 45 minutes to op from my parents' 
house. First contest effort from dad's (KØGVG) modest shack in quite some time. 
Definately less than ideal contesting setup/condx(little pistol!), but I really 
wanted to get a feel for this contest and my expectations weren't too high. 
Dad's ground-mounted vertical (he's quite proud of) is surrounded on three 
sides in a small backyard (2 story house, and power-lines to the east & south). 
35' away, a noisy pole-mounted transformer can spews S-6 noise. Anyway, thanks 
for the fills and the dupe rule which allowed me to greatly increase my 
score/fun by working the few I could hear (I had 38 dupes).  

Rig: IC-746 @ 100W
Ant: Cushcraft R8 (w/tuner for 80m @ ~30W - ugly): groundmounted, no radials
Logging: WriteLog 10.28C
RTTY: MMTTY (first use in a contest)
