Comments:

That was a Blast!  The conditions were excellent and everything worked.  Of
course I didn't get any sleep before the contest and stopped at 2:30AM on
Saturday morning and took a 2 hour nap and then got back up at 4AM and went
until about 7AM.  I made it through until about 4AM on Sunday morning before I
hit the sack again.

The best part of the contest was the pileups from EU that resulted in 300
10-Pointers.  Canada really helped out also with 71 of the the 90 5-Pointers.

On the Monday before the contest I put down 20 more radials under the Inverted
L for a total of 60 which equates to about 6000' of radial wire.  They seemed
to help with the runs.  The NW/SE and NE/SW Reversible Beverages really helped
out also.  Thanks for all the Qs and I'll see you in the next one.  73, Jack
W4NF
