Comments:

Wow! The upcomin suncycle looks promising. 15m was a real blast with good
openings both to JA and W. Can't wait for it to get even better. 

This was my 4th RY contest ever. Went to SK6AW's contest container
on saturday morning, just to find out why I've been having trouble
with the FSK connection on the TS-850 earlier. Previous owner must
have hit it so it was not connecting to the PCB. Re-soldered it and 
was QRV for about 26 hours total, using "High Power" of ~400 watts.

Shared antennas with SM6V, Chris who worked PACC during saturday afternoon,
SOAPBOX: and took a one hour break to work a domestic contest on sunday. Much
fun! 99% run and just a few QSO's S&P. Thanks to everyone for calling!

Gear:
SB220 ~400w
80m: 1 wl Loop
40m: 2el Delta @EU
20m: 4el
15m: 6el
10m: Never went there, enough fun on the other bands.

A descent amp that will do 1kW all weekend would be nice to motivate all 36hrz
and some more serious operating. It will be hard to do SSB contests again after
finding out about RTTY ;-)

Thanks to all participants!
73 de SM6U, Rick
