Comments:

Rig: FT-1000D, Amp: AL-1200, TU: MicroHAM microKeyer, Software: MixW 2.19
(Registered) Antennas: Cushcraft X-9 Log at 42 feet.  Homebrewed linear loaded
Inverted V dipole with apex at 75 feet.

99.9% S&P. Worked my second ever Zone 26 contact (from the U.S. that is) in
this contest. 3WIM, is my first (and right now only) Viet Nam QSO in almost 30
years of hamming...just running up the dial and copied a 3W. It's a big deal
for me just like the Cambodian QSO I had a few months back.

The new amplifier sure made a big difference in this contest.  First time ever
running a KW...well 900 watts.  Didn't want to run full legal limit as I wasn't
sure if the trees would catch fire or it the dipole would handle it...and twice
I had incidents of arcing at 1100 watts. But...I worked almost everyone I
heard.
