Comments:

First, a big thanks to my spouse Mary Jo for supporting my effort to "put up one
last antenna" and for feeding me during the contest!  Also kudos
to CQ Magazine for running the best contest of the year!

It was strange to start the contest on 80 meters.  The 40 meter absorbtion on
Europe started at 2300Z.  15 and 10 were poor here in the northern US. 
However, 80 and 160 were great thanks to my VE3DO loops and a new ground system
under my verticals.

The number of great ops continues to rise.  The only downer was the
continuation of some to sign their calls once every 10 minutes.  8P5A PJ2T PJ4A
P40W P40Q V47NT and others get praises for signing their call during  every QSO
and having great QSO rates! 

Rigs:
2X IC765
TitanII amp (20 and 40)
Henry 2KD Classic (80 and 15)
LK500ZB (10 and 160)

Antennas:
10/15    2/2 quad 83'/46' plus 2 el quad at 40'
20       3 el at 83'
40       rotary dipole at 70'
80       2 el wire vertical'
160      gamma fed 83' tower
VE3DO loops at 50 degrees and 160 degrees

CU next year!
