A contest of firsts here:
First real test of new antennas/tower... 
4 Ele SteppIR @ 72'  (10 thru 20)
Cushcraft XM240 @ 82' (40m)
Sloper (80m / 160m)... admittedly can't expect too much on the lowbands.

First real effort for me using N1MM in a CW contest. Still getting used to a
few things. 

Didn't expect to set the world on fire and couldn't put in a full effort, but
was able to get in about 30 hrs.  Only one rig (Icom 746) which can be a bit
tricky to use when the bands are packed. Worked a lot more CW DX this weekend
than I ever have from my QTH - so that was fun. 

Head cold slowed me a bit... but I've been looking forward to this one for a
long time so there wasn't any way I was going to throw in the towel. Glad I
didn't, because I had a blast! 

Thanks to those with some great ears for pulling me out, especially on 80 and
160.
