Comments:

Another great contest. 10M didn't work like I had hoped. 15M was the money band,
and 20M wasn't far behind. Stayed up way too late to work a trickle of station
on 80M in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

Used a HyGain 18AVT/WB primarily on 80/40M (and a G5RV for some contacts), and a
hexagonal beam on 20/15/10M. Two elements sure makes a difference. I am breaking
the 300-QSO barrier in a 24-hour test, which is more than I used to manage in a
48-hour marathon.

Pretending to be SuperDad, I was supposed to QRT the contest at 1800Z to take
the kids to the ski hill. I turned off the rig, got bundled up for snow, and
away we went... got 10 minutes from home when a rear strut broke on the car so
we had to turn around. The kids didn't get to the ski hill, but SuperDad got to
finish the contest. I was back on the air by 1930Z.

I told the kids there's always next weekend.

Thanks to all for the contacts, to the ARRL and manager(s), and apologies to a
few stations I just couldn't pull out of the QRM. See you all in NAQP CW. 

Uh oh kids. There goes the ski trip :)
