Comments:

I had been traveling all week prior to the contest and was dead tired at the
start of the contest but had a ball giving my 2 element raised radial array a
workout.  Nice, but not great, conditions and good rates.  I ate some bad
grapes for breakfast Saturday morning and that knocked me out of the contest
mixed with little sleep, but my wife was still glad I came home and didn't stay
at the station.  Good planning on my part...  ;-)
Had 3 of 4 beverages working and they helped a lot.  It was nice to work ZL8X
as my only VK/ZL.  Got a few JAs but not as many as usual.  Nice deep EU
contacts and a good ratio of countries to EU Qs from down here in Texas.  
My most impressive contact was with F5IN!  My goodness, he was LOUD!!!  About
20 over on the beverage.
Lots of fun and a good check out of the antenna.  Now to get some sleep.  ;-)
Tnx for the contacts,
Bob K5WA
