Great time...
80m: My best results ever on 80. Doesn't sound like much but with my
low
power, I was pleased with the results. Bunch of European's, an African
and a
couple South American's (17 countries in all) were entered in the log
plus a
bunch of West Coast US. Did work a AL7 but he was portable in 7 land.
40m: Did not spend much time on 40 this year. The total number of Q's
shows
that. Again worked an KL7 but this time he was portable in 9 land...!
20m: Lots of stations to be worked. Found stations from 14.060 to
14.130
Really crowded. Anytime I found a spot to run, within 4 or 5 minutes,
the big
guns moved in so I ended up moving alot. Finally worked a AL1 for the
mult.
15m: Not real good at the times I was available. Nice little run
though late
Sunday afternoon to the West Coast.
10m: Listened often, heard NOTHING.
Really did not look for mults. I just took what came my way. Missed
(never
heard) DE, DC and NV.
My very last contact AJ1M - 23:59:40 in West Virginia ...NEW.
Was totally amazed with the number of VA/VE3's worked.
What a great way to finish off a month's holidays. Contest finished at
8 PM
local time. Up and off to work 3:30 AM Monday...!
Logs will be uploaded later today to LOTW.
Thanks to every one that called. 73 and a HNY from our house to yours
to all.

Software: Writelog with MMtty (worked flawlessly again -ole faithful)
30 watts to an all band Butternut Vertical
FYI. My vertical is located on a small lake behind our house. The feed
point
is about 1/2 foot above the water line
