This time out I decided to see what my IC-706 MK II would do
    in a real contest. I was quite impressed with how this mid
   performance radio performed.  I kept it at 20W and fed my 
  ALS- 500M amplifier to get 100W out, so as not to have to run 
  the IC-706 at maximum power, saving the finals. Saturday 
  morning I had a tough time getting past the east coast stations
   into EU.  I had set a goal of 1000 QSO's, and that goal did
  not seem possible given the low rates that I was getting.  
  However perseverance prevailed, and I not only met, but 
  surpassed my goal. I did miss IA and NE, 2 neighboring states! I 
  was glad to see many rare Canadian provinces on though.  I 
  was very impressed at how many EU countries that I able to 
  work on 40m with my low dipole.  Also I very much enjoyed 15M 
  being open a bit. No 10M activity here. All in all, a great time, and I even
got 
  some decent shut eye, which my 65 year old body appreciated!
