Comments:

I thank Chris VE3FU for the loan of his station and the encouragement and
support of his wife Debbie and my girlfriend, Melanie.

This was a first real test for Chris' stack of two TH6es and a smaller
tribander on another tower.  The combination of antennas was great, and
afforded me a great deal of flexibility. 

I was expecting conditions to be quite poor.  I was very happily disappointed
by how good things were.  While the band (20m) was nearly dead after dark,
during the daylight and twilight hours, propagation was really quite good.  I
enjoyed good long runs into Europe.  I was most pleased by the good openings to
Asia both days.  I've never worked so many BYs in a contest before.  The absence
of activity from Africa was a real disappointment, and relatively easy-to-work
zones 36 and 37 are missing from my log.  I also missed 23, 26 and 31.  That
last one is a real embarrassment.  

I had fun, I made a pretty good score.  This was a great weekend.
