Comments:

Amp was down so ran barefoot with 100 W.  Still could work everything I 
heard at our noisy location.  Ended operation a bit early (0630Z the 
second night) as the tuning knob on the FT990 froze up.  Goal was to beat 
(with low power) last year's score (with high power).  Mission 
accomplished:  532 Q's, 72 mults this year vs. 463 Q's, 74 mults. last 
year. 2006 total with high power was 532 Q's and 60 mults.
