Comments:

This was much better results than last year.  Last year I used a Gap Titan
Vertical and my AL-80B - this year I used a simple 80M loop fed with 450 ohm
ladder line.  MUCH better results.  It was amazing to do A/B tests and hear the
signals come up on the loop by several S-Units and the noise go down - much
better signal to noise ratio.  I was pleased with the results of the loop. Only
missed 2 sections - AK and NT.  I heard the AK several times, but I just wasn't
strong enough to get through the pile ups.

80M was strange - it was extremely long for most of the evening and mornings -
at midnight I had not worked a single section in zones 1, 2 or 3.  Very shortly
afterwards, the band switched, and the 1,2 and 3s came rolling in.  A nice
contest - thank you to everyone for working me.
