Comments:

Equip: FT-1000MP, TL-922 (New Titan II is down for the second time) inv L, low 
dipole, NE/SW, E/W beverage, and a snake.
I never operated below 1843.  Conditions were really good and I never heard the 
band so crowded. Without a legal limit amp, I spent 90% of my time above 1900.
I did not work as much DX as I normally have in the past, but I did have DX 
call me when I was above 1900 and one station even called me on 1.979. I guess 
I'm getting old because this was two contests in a row that I have not put in a 
full effort.  Funniest incident: I was running on a freq for over two hours and 
not having any problems when someone put a wierd signal on my freq.  I guess it 
was to get my attention, because then I heard this fairly weak voice say "you 
are too close to me, you are too close to me".  Duh! Next contest, I want a QRM 
free clear frequency too.  Think I will put that on my Christmas list.   Or 
while thinking about it, I guess that is why I bought sharp filters.  See you 
all next week.  Don't forget to give me a clear frequency!
73, Tom  K2UOP in WV
