Comments:

Forty meter SSB is always a challenge.  However, it was good to see the
increased use of 7125 - 7200 simplex by DX stations.  This reduced the amount
of split operation that dictates search-and-pounce and the frustration over DX
stations (especially multipliers) who would not listen "UP."  It was
distressing to hear some stateside stations intentionally work DX statios
out-of-band.  These were not simply a case of "wrong VFO."  I discovered
somewhat late in the contest that my newly installed EU beverage could hear the
PW stations whereas the transmit antenna picked up all the "crud."  First time
using a transceiver with dual VFOs thus eliminating much of the button pushing.
 Station:  FT-1000MP to L4B @ 1 KW to M2 2-el Yagi @ 100 ft. two miles from the
Atlantic Ocean.  Always great fun!
