Comments:

This contest was FUN! 

I was in a race this year to get several antenna projects completed before
contest season started. Unfortunately I missed CQ WW SSB and the ARRL CW
Sweepstakes. Warm weather over the past few weeks sure helped but there was too
much to do. My Hy-Gain Explorer 14 was broken in half by a tree during Hurricane
Irene. The tower suffered minor damage and was repaired and repainted. The
antenna upgrade took about 2 weeks to complete due to complete
disassembly/reassembly. The work paid off with a noticeable performance
improvement after using Penetrox on the element joints.

New 80/40 dipoles and feedline also worked great.  

Beat last years score by 30% and picked up 7 new DXCC countries. Great to hear
10M open to the entire world. This was the first contest in many years where
QRN was not an issue. 

Station:  Ten Tec Omni VII  100W,  Hy-Gain Explorer 14 @ 30 ft (10/15/20), 
80/40 dipoles @ 35 ft,  HP Pavillion PC running CT

Thanks for all the QSO's.
