Comments:

Well, I didn't plan to operate this year because I had a lot of things going on
this weekend and didn't want the XYL to get angry for being "on the radio the
entire weekend!"  So I squeezed in what I could.. In summary, if it wasn't for
a late Sunday afternoon opening, I probably would have had only about 300 Q's.

Echoing similar comments I've read so far, conditions to my area were defintely
worse than last year (pathetic) and the score reflects it (operated last year at
my QTH with call W5RU M/S HP - see OCT 2009 QST Cover). Missed NH, DC, DE, NV,
OR and all Canadian Provinces except ON and BC.  Also missed KH6 and KL7.

DX worked was 6Y, HI, KP4, X, CE, CX, HC, HC8, LU, PY and a VP8 who called me
off the back of the beam.

Well, here's hoping for better conditions next year.. At least the WHO DATS (NO
Saint's) won!  Now 13-0!!!
