Highlights:

Getting Wyoming on 4 bands!  Thanks to W0ETT/m!  Way to go Ken!

4 hours of > 90Q (but less than 100!)

working n4va! (one morse character different, the only other person that
close is n6vi whom I've worked a time or two.)

The 40m dipole at least getting out on  80m.  I tried calling CQ and the
only answer I get was n2ic!  I had plans for a real 80m antenna,
but needless to say, it didn't happen.  I won’t bore you with the
details.  Simply put, using a 40m antenna on 80m is NOT a good strategy!


Misc notes:

Started the contest 40 minutes late, that probably hurt my 10m qso and
mult count. Felt like I was late to every band after that.  Two radio’s
would definitely help that feeling.


I think I've got next week reserved for phone, hope to see most of you
then!
