Comments:

Best effort EVER for me in any contest. High bands were extremely
busy and I'm forever thankful for the CW filters in my Icom. Lots
of callers at times, which made it tough to pull out even one call.
The only thing that would have made this contest better was a good
European 10 meter opening. No complaints as 10 has been open daily
now for the last few months! 

Thanks so very much for all the calls and sorry to those I missed.
My CW skills are not the best and some of the pile-ups can be crazy
for this DX'er turned weekend warrior. I'm a contesting greenhorn 
with the desire to improve. In looking back,I probably should have
hunted more multipliers on 15 & 10 meters. 

Glad this weekend was quiet weather wise as a Chinook is forcasted
to hit the interior this week and next weekend with predicted gusts
to 70 mph. Time to nest the beam just above the roof line and break
out the shorts as our temperatures will be well above zero. Our family
beagle will sure be looking forward to the warm up as she won't have to
wear her "Puppy Paws" when she heads outdoors. 

Many friends encountered this weekend, wish I was better at typing
out personal greetings. I have problems with hitting the correct F-KEY
let alone ALT-K and typing a short personal "Hello" without a buffer. 

A more detailed overview can be found on my blog;
