Comments:

My objectives in this Contest were to have fun and to give my 14-yr-old mentee
friend a chance to operate.  I'm in the third year of helping this kid with
High School math, and have gotten him interested in Ham Radio Contesting.  I
arranged for him to come over Sunday afternoon.  Without him I would have been
CW-only, SOLP.  With him, we wind up as M/S (non-assisted).  I had fun.  He had
fun, but it was interesting to see his frustration at getting pounded in the
pileups.  And it was instructive to see the skills gap beteween a complete
newbie and even a Little Pistol phone 'op.
