Comments:

Great contest, my own personal record was broken.
And with less time in the test too!

Good rates on 10-15-20, 10 m was open just like in 
the old days of cycle 22!

80 m dipole had a contact problem (relay) that did not
get fixed with 100 w, only when exposed to an accidental
KW, did it work again.

Also, noticed that now there are too many relays in general,
a relay PSU run out of amps and relays don’t pull after
the PSU heats up! Work to be done.

Second radio was a brand new IC-7410, it sure hears
and works better than an old 756PRO!
