Comments:

What a contest for me, two firsts-  I made a clean sweep and scored over
100,000!  Now if the log checkers don't "fang" me to hard I will be happy.

With interest, I read about others with rain static or poor conditions, here I
had no rain static and thought conditions were very respectable and I did not
have to fight power line noise, only some local noise on 80m.  Only glinch that
I started to get concerned over was Sunday morning when I fired the laptop up,
somehow I had lost all connection between the laptop, my MicroHAM cw keyer and
the rig.  Had to reset all the settings, this does happen occasionally, so at
least I had all the info handy, but not something I wanted to do at 6:00am PST
while listening to great band conditions.

Spent an equal amount of time running and S&P, should have spent more time
running.  If I handn't "burned" out late Sunday afternoon I could have made at
least 800 q's, but my brain was scrambled by then.

Lineup:

FT-1000MP
AL-80b
3-el Yagi up 60'
40m dipole up 75' 
80m vee, apex @ 55'
