Comments:

This year worked out better than I expected.  Without decent antennas for the
high bands, I figured I'd have trouble on 10/15/20 at this point in the sunspot
cycle.  That seemed to be true.  

I really expected better results on 40 meters, but I did better on 20 than on
40.  Seems like the broadcast stations scared everybody off, although I didn't
seem to have trouble working the stations calling CQ on 40.  Note to self:
Switch to 40 meters earlier at the bottom of the sunspot cycle.

My big surprise was being able to maintain a run on  80 meters.  I had a solid
two plus hours running on 80.  Nothing to scare the big guns, but a nice solid
chunk of extra QSO's.  Thanks for the patience with my practice.  I feel pretty
good about my 80 meter folded dipole.  

Still need to work on my 160 antenna.  It would not load properly in the rain,
so 160 was a bust.
