This is the first time I tried a 20m only effort in this contest.  One 
thing I learned is that I got on way too late Saturday morning and 
consequently missed quite a few Europeans.  And they weren't around very 
long as they migrated to the higher bands.  I felt fortunate to have a 
number of interesting multipliers respond to my CQing.  That helped offset 
some pretty slow hours.

We typically have pretty poor weather here and this winter has been 
particularly taxing.  But fortunately our snow stopped just prior to the 
contest beginning and didn't resume until after the contest ended.  During 
the contest itself it was very calm, although bitter cold.  I didn't have 
the snow and rain static stations on the East Coast experienced, which made 
it possible to easily copy the QRP JAs.

Thanks everyone for a fun experience.
