Comments:

Thanks to Tom K1KI and the NEQP team for another great QSO party. This contest
is defintely a blast! 

I set two goals this year: # 1 try to exceed 65K points. # 2 at a minimum
improve my Norfolk County MA record of 59,280 set back in 2007. I exceeded both
by an unexpected wide margin. Conditions were great on Saturday and more
challenging on Sunday. Overall I was very happy with my run rates and worked
about 95% of my QSO's via CQ.  

I worked N4PN on 5 bands CW and 1 SSB.  Worked N4DW, K1GU/4, N4AII and KU8E on
5 bands all CW. Special thanks to KU8E who gave me a heads up on a 10M opening.
This allowed me to pick up 19 stations on what I thought was a dead band. I
called CQ there a few times before the heads up with no results. These were my
first 10M QSO's in the past 2 years !!

Thanks to all the DX stations that called me and were patient enough to wait
for QRM to subside. Special thanks to OH2XX who called at 2350 on Sunday for a
new multiplier. 

Results:

USA - worked 46 states - missed AR, HI, ND, SD
Canada - missed LAB, NF, PEI, BC, NUN, NWT, YT
DX - 11 countries

Worked many USA stations of the back of my beam trying to generate some EU
QSO's. Never heard anything from the Caribbean. Lots of comments about good SSB
runs by other stations but I didn't experience them. I got a few good signal
reports on 20 SSB but only 1 response from 20 minutes of calling CQ. 100W works
so much better on CW !

Station:  TenTec Omni 7  100W  
Antennas: 20/15/10M 4 element tribander at 30 ft, 80/40M dipoles at 30 ft.
Software: CT

Thanks for all the QSO's!
