Comments:

Equipment: Ft-1000MP, TL-922A, C31XR, C3S, 40M phased verticals, 80M inverted 
L, 160M inverted L.

Couldn't use my usual amp (Titan II) because the QSK board was back for repair,
then just hours before the contest I broke a tooth, and it is hard to copy CW 
with throbbing going on in your head, so I decided to operate in a casual 
manner for this one.  Even took off Saturday night to go to The Charlestown
Racetrack and play the slots.  All the noise in the casino took my mind off the 
throbing from the tooth, but it would have been more profitable to stay in the 
contest as I dropped enough that night to buy half a new amp.  
I'd like to improve my 40 and 80M antennas system and it would be helpful to me 
and probably some others if people would list their equipment and antennas 
along with the contest results.  I'm always amazed at the countries some 
stations work on 40 and 80.  I hope to have my amp back on for the CQ 160M SSB 
contest.  CU all on Top band!
