Comments:

Not as much time on air that I wanted, but so it goes...

Usually go HP Assisted in this one, but decided at the last minute to see what
could be done with 100 watts and no telnet, as I've proven to myself over and
over again that packet can hurt one's score...Too much time wasted in Packet
Pileups chasing mults that will usually come while running anyway...I did scan
the bands top to bottom often to see what I was missing...Mult count is down by
26 this year, but QSO's are up with less time on air...End result, better score
and more sleep..!!...Running is key to scoring points when in a semi-rare
mult-location, with S&P at the right times in the right places...

Most often worked DXCC's...DL(152), OK(76), I(70), G(63), UA(61)...Overall, 101
DXCC and 26 zones worked...

Best clock hour - 1600-1700 Sat with 126...

Pleasantly surprised at 80 and 40, had fun on both bands with good
propagation...

Kept checking 10, but only heard ONE signal - HP1XX...

Lots of fun...Thanks for the calls...

73, Scott VE1OP
