Comments:

QSO total up %50 from last year but Mults were down by 2.  This was my personal 
best QSO total/rate with my best hour 13z on 10meters makeing 112 qso's.  First 
time with a rate over 1 per minute of operating time (24.5hours).

Dale wasn't feeling well and only made a hand full of contacts.  I got on the 
air on Saturday night and ran till the end.  With my only break being 30 
minutes in the woods trying to figure out what was wrong with the 160meter 
antenna (big mistake, should have just left it and moved on).

Conditions to Asia were great, had 3W, HS0, HL, and YB call me on 20 during a 
JA run....YA5T never called in hihi

First time using writelog in a big contest.  Combined with packet and radio 
control made working the bandmap a snap.  Only drawback was that the CW was 
distorted if the computer was multitasking (doesn't happen with CT).

Murphy came to visit taking down the 160 meter antenna sometime last week and 
one of the Amps towards the end of the contest.

Hopefully murphy will stay away from me at V26S in the SSB contest in 2 weeks
