Comments:

Purely part time effort between family obligations. Tried to give out the VE4
multiplier as much as possible.

Tried running this contest at a max power output of 25 watts to avoid RFI to
the neigbor. He still complained, I may have to break down and buy him a decent
home theater system just so I can operate. He won't allow me to put filters on
his speaker or AC leads...

However, operating at 25 wattts was a neat experience. At times I felt loud on
20m, even broke a few pile ups. I hate to use the old saying, but if I could
hear them, I could work them. Perhaps it took some effort and a clear frequency
but I could still get through. 80 and 40 were very noisey and low power Q's were
a lot harder to make. I could not work everyone I heard with 25 watts.

Wish I would have had more time to play this year!
