Met my goal of improving on last year. Conditions seemed good the first night
and were much better than the second. The weather was a factor as we got hit
with an ice storm and strong winds. Power went off twice on Saturday evening
for a short time. Noise was higher towards the storm and EU and East Coast. 

Tried an Inverted L this year. Used my 80m vertical and was able to easily add
the wire and connect to a nearby tower. I am sure that I worked more close in
stations than with the vertical last year. 

I was able to run on the same frequency for 10 hours without getting up. This
lead to very good runs at the start. Worked all states, missed PR and VE4.
VY1JA called at 1000Z on last day to wake me up!! The best DX surprise was
being called by FO and also HC1HC for a new one on TB.  

Thanks for all of the qsos and I appreciate the patience as I awitched
Beverages. It was not as fast as I would like especially with the extra noise
Sat/Sunday night.
