Comments:

Very slow start here. The MUF to Europe was below 7 MHz shortly after the
contest started. The contest was mostly S&P though I did have a good run on 20
for a couple of hours Sunday morning. Very few second radio QSOs, probably only
20 or so since I was S&P most of the time. I mainly used it to look for openings
on other bands. Only one QSO on 10, a ground wave contact with W0AIH which was
the only station I ever heard on 10 in spite of checking it frequently on the
second radio.

I was pleased with my performance on 40 and 80. My new 2 element vertical array
with a new 2 element Comtek box works a lot better than a low (about 75 ft)
inverted V. I was actually able to work a fair number of Europeans on 1 call
which was hard to do on the V.

73 to all

Jim
