Comments:

A fun time, and I just matched my last March score of 202 x 30 from 
same QTH and antennas. This year I added a Yaesu FT-990 as a second radio, 
it worked fine on FSK RTTY.  But I only have two antennas, a 20m yagi
and a wire and tuner for 40m and 80m, so I was only SO2R on 20m and 40m
- once I moved up to 40m (and 80m) I was single radio (single antenna).
I only had a bandpass filter for the 20m radio, and the antennas are 
close together, so and I had a little interference to the other radio 
on decoding weak signals.

I had a great start on 20m with a few interleaved 40m QSOs, but then as 
everyone left 20m and we headed up to 40m, the big ops just pulled further 
and further ahead of me. I'm sure I need something better than a wire loop 
to keep up on the low bands... I wasn't having much success on 80m, so I 
went back to 40m for the last 15 minutes,and that helped keep the last 
hour rate up.

As always, thanks to everyone who participated for the fun!
