Comments:

First I stink at CW.  I can't run stations very well because off some kind of
intimidation factor.  So, I’m a search and pounce guy.  I can copy the stuff
at 30 wpm because I get several chances but this station won’t have a golden
log.  Sorry if I messed you up.  I’ll buy you a diet Pepsi if you lose points
because of me.

So having said that know that I think this is always a fun event.  My stinky
antenna seems to work the big boys, but Sunday I worked several QRP stations. 
I did that power level the past couple of years and know what it’s like.  My
new Yaesu FT-950 absolutely rocks.  Bone crushing signals 250 to 500 Hz away
and clean perfect copy with IF DSP.  I heard more than I’ve ever heard
before. Glad to be back at 100 watts.  Conditions seemed very good.  Had a S9
line noise issue for a while but we worked through it.  80 meters was very good
here late on Saturday night.  I must always remember that 40 meters is great
earlier than you normally expect from California.

Thanks for the Q’s.
