Comments:

First time doing a single-band entry. Using an IC-7000 and a TGM mini-beam up at
25' AGL and just low-power. 10 to Europe was great. Oddly enough, my biggest
difficulties were to South America and the Caribbean; Africa and the South
Pacific weren't as difficult as I'd expected. Only biggies I missed that I
actively tried for were North Cooks and Zone 19.

Low power and low antennas were definitely a hindrance but I still did far
better than I'd expected since this was only a part-time operation due to
family considerations. 

Next up for me is the ARRL 160m contest in a couple of weeks.
