Comments:

It's been awhile since I've done a serious contest from my home station.  Most
of my serious efforts the last 2 years have been from NR4M or N3HBX.  This
little 2 tower station still plays pretty well but at times I could have used
the bigger, higher hardware.     

 - sure was nice to have useable lowbands this year.  Last year we had a heavy
rain storm that rendered the lowbands pretty much useless.  
 - worked packet hard for mults this year.  Last year I kind of forgot I had
it.  Old habits I guess.  
 - jumped to 15 meters during 14 UTC to grab what mults I could.  Kind of hated
to leave the rate on 20.  Most signals were pretty loud but from very select
regions.
 - nice little opening to Europe on 80 SSB after their sunrise.  
 - got a little behind the guys up north early and once the lowbands opened the
gap widened significantly.  C'est La Vie
