Comments:

Heard 2 mults I didn't work, W5WMU in LA and N0AH in WY.  That's one of the 
real frustrating parts of this contest - if you hear a mult on the wrong end of 
a Q or he doesn't come back to you in a pileup he may be lost forever.

Took about 5 tries to get Trey's call.  Finally rotated the 6 elements on 20 
that I had been pointing 60 degrees north of him and then I could copy fine.  
Missed the HP, XE, CO, and KL7.

Couldn't effectively do SO2R with the kludgey 2-computer setup I had used in 
NAQP CW.  I think my score suffered because I tried too hard to listen on 
another band at the same time and didn't have enough CQ's of my own on the air. 
 By February we hope to have a SO2R box so that the software takes care of this 
for us.

-Mike, N7MH
