Just a few hours of operation during a busy weekend. Decided to go High Power so
I wouldn't be a pipsqueak with only 25 watts on the barefoot K2/100. Worked the
first hour, the 0300z hour and the last two hours. 

All Qs on 20 and 40m. Only a couple were S & P. The rest were calling CQ.
Managed very good rate on 20m, but nothing like going to 40m at 2245z near the
end. Had guys calling right up to 0000z.

Best moment was having PZ5RA call in just before the end.

Cocoamodem did an excellent job decoding. However, I sometimes hit the wrong
keys. A couple of times, it acted like Unshift-on-space wasn't working. Had guys
give me a report of 599 ,# ,# ,# - after I asked for several repeats, finally
found out ,# was NH.

Biggest problem was having multiple people call at the same time, resulting in a
garbled mix. QRZ DE AA4LR over and over. 

Sure was fun. Look forward to the next contest.
