Comments:

Doubled last year's score and even beat this year's CW numbers ...but also put
in 4 more hours than on CW and last year I had some antenna issues for the SSB
contest. For this time of year in Texas 80 meters was quiet and had by far my
best results ever there. Unfortunately fifteen was a total zero. Had the Orion
band scope there most of Saturday and Sunday and never heard a single signal -
not even South America. Despite lots of CQing, over 90% of my contacts were
S&P. If 15 and 10 meters ever come back maybe that will change. 

Don't know if it was propagation or just lack of activity but I did not work a
single OH other than OH0X. No OMs and only one OK and one 9A - usually
stalwarts of DX contests for me.

Thanks to DARC for a fun contest. Still waiting for those sunspots though!
