Comments:

K2 5w (65mw ERP) 13 foot tall Hi-Q 5/160 at 20 feet, with 16 radials each 13
feet long. 

Started out ok, but a few hours into the contest the bands sounded like the rf
gods had thrown an attenuator inline. Signals went down even on the stronger
signals. I was still able to copy 95% of signals I heard, but was able to work
only about 50% of those stations. 

Last year with the same rig/antenna/power setup, I worked 60 contacts and about
95% of the stations heard. Last year longest Q was 3942km with 2 dx, this years
longest Q was only 1912km and no dx at all.
