Comments:

A big thank you to Frank and XYL for letting me invade the shack.  
The contest was a great lift to my spirits. 

Best DX was S9SS 19 pts. 
18 pts: UU4JMG, RV6YZ/6 
17 pts: RW4PL, UR6QA 
16 pts: YZ7A, UX5NQ, RL3A, UA3TCJ, RU3DX, KH6/N6KB 

Had 107 QSOs that were 10 or more points. 

I thought it was strange the beverage selection knob didn't seem to 
matter for direction. Well...at about 0730z I actually looked around 
some more and found a box on the right side of the table labeled 
"Bev / Xmit antenna"...So I get the dork award for that one! Glad the 
band was quite. Ended up not using the beverages for almost 10 hrs of 
the contest, ugh! Someday I won't make any mistakes in a contest, yeah right! 

Had a fun competition with Jerry KE9I. Too funny being able to talk on 
cell phones while in the contest! Thought for a moment that I might 
not get a QSO from him...now that would be funny. Ended up catching him 
CQing early in the morning. Looks like the 600 or so miles helped me out 
in points but Jerry won the QSO total competition. Jerry got me hooked 
on Stew Perry when he invited me over for a M/O years ago. Thanks Jerry!

My tour with Uncle Sam is wrapping up this Spring. 
Back to the blackhole of the midwest for me soon, UGH! 

Best of health to all 
and Happy Holidays, 
Eric
