Comments:

Used half-size G5RV wires NE-SW at 40', and fanned full dipoles E-W at 60'
N1MM Logger V4.0.43 ran like a charm with MMTTY. Nice work, guys!

Conditions weren't spectacular, but not too bad from here. Beat last year's
score by more than 210,000 points, despite not having the Spider Beam that I
used last year.

Only VK I heard was VK2KM on 40m and we managed to get the info through. Had a
couple of enjoyable hours working JA stations at 2 a.m. Pacific Saturday
morning, and again working EU stations around midnight Saturday night -- both on
20.

Nice surprise to hear 4Z8EE in there later on Saturday evening (0500z). HB9CAL
called in for another pleasant surprise. At one point Saturday evening the
biggest signal by far on 20m was GM4FDM -- quite a signal onto the dipole at
this end. Was hoping to run across D4B or some other usually loud AF station,
but the continent count stalled at 5 for me this time again.

Had fun and continue to do better each year. This is a fun contest and a fun
scoring system. 

Thanks for the contacts. 73,
Bud, VA7ST
