Comments:

Wow 20m was REALLY bad here in the NW.  I hope I wasn't the only one to think
so.    Extra tough low power.  I seem to be in a 270-280 qso range rut when
running LP.  I think had this been an effort at W7UQ, I would have been a good
40 q's down.  So with 20m normal, could definitely hit that 300 barrier low
power.  

Rig 1: FT1000MP, C31XR, 80m inverted vee
Rig 2: TS570DG, 2 el F12 40m beam

Pretty sad breakdown:

Had a great time though, Dan's single tower station really plays!  

DX worked: KP4, KP2, VP9.  No KL7's, or VE other than VE3.  XE1BEF called me,
but too many people in Texas would not be quiet long enough for a solid qso. 
Seriously, stop calling if you can't hear the guy!!!

I love this contest, it was still a GREAT time.

Thanks to Dan and Cheryl for putting up with me!
