Comments:

Pretty good conditions in general, but the low  band were a 
disappointment here, not the level of activity I have been
accustomed to in recent years.

Still having problems with my prop-pitch rotor that gave out
last season -  had the motor rebuilt again, and also had the
gearbox totally rebuilt (over $600 in new bearings alone!) -
now it turns but the direction indication has suddenly
become unreliable, so I had it parked NE all weekend so
20 & 40 in directions other than Europe were impacted here.

I have had trouble talking with any volume the past 6 weeks.
So, this contest was 99% DVP, even the running on 10 meters
relied upon the callsign generation in TR4W.  I never would
have made it this weekend without it. I seemed to have more
trouble than usual busting pileups, so had very little luck
working stations on the second radio.  For the first time
in many years I did not hear and work a JA on 75 phone;
ditto for Europeans on 160m.

My score was about 30% higher than my previous best in this
contest, which is about the same improvement W9RE had, so
I guess this is about what can be expected here from my
one tower low power station.
