No keying interface....so had to send the whole contest by hand - and it showed
since I found it very hard to send P4/W2GD and not P40W after nearly 20 years. 
Have a much better appreciation for DXpeditioners who must use a / callsign.
Yuck!

Condx were best on 20M as expected.  40M was just OK.  80M QRN was very tough
and had no time this afternoon to hook up the beverage.  Just 2 band changes.

Still a very nice way to spend a Saturday evening.  PHIL G. got a very nice and
appropriate tribute...RIP my friend.

Only section heard but missed was MD.  KH6/W6PH called in but Kurt my friend,
its not a counter.  Nice to also hear K6VVA/KL7, VY1/N3DXX and NP3D. Oh, VE9DX
snuck in there too.

Never heard RI, VT, KY, UT, ND, SD, UT, NF, NS, VE2, VE4, VE5, VE6, or VE7.

I'll claim a new Aruba record in the NA Sprint for my effort. :-)

Will be back here for CQWW PH and CW as P40W in the months ahead.

73,

John W2GD
