Comments:

Hadn't planned on entering.  Band not so hot.  Never worked a G or SM, etc. 
Score is a long way from my 2002 USA record: 237,523    561   31  120  

Used an FT817 as the only rig for the entire contest.  Quite amazing...it really
works well...I was very (happily) surprised.  Ant = 154CD @ 82' and 2L Quad
fixed south @38' (same tower).

Highlights:
Working ZS1 through giant pileup when (I guess) I was the only one who heard him
say "up a bit."  Got him on the next call (yes, with 5 watts), while the other
KW boys were still calling him on freq.  Nothing works like listening to
instructions.

Did the same thing with  S9SS (but he didn't say UP, I just did it).  I had the
speaker open for my teenage girls to hear the giant pileup on the him.  They
cheered me on, "Work him daddy!"  So I went split and call him UP and bingo...he
came right back on one call.  Again, the KW boys were left calling and calling
on his QRG.  Too easy.  I must be genuinely old now.  Anyhow, nice to hear my
kids cheer my success.  :-)
