Comments:

The first three quarters were great.  Lots of opportunities for me to QLF while
working two QSOs at once.  Tons of fun.

The low bands just killed me in the last couple of hours.  Couldn't reach the
mults and couldn't get any rate.  There has to be a solution, but I haven't
found it yet.  This year I'm running a 160m inv-L over an FCP and a 50' 80m
vert over an FCP.  They didn't work any better than the same antennas over a
pair of elevated radials which is what I used last year.  They may even have
been worse judging from the Qs on those bands.  

I beat my score from last August by 200 QSOs and 50K points -- all thanks to
15m, 20m and 40m, so that's the silver lining, though I'm sure it's mostly due
to band condx this time.

Thanks for all the Q's and thanks to my fellow Wire nuts (AB7R, NG7Z, WC7Q AND
W7OM) for inspiring me to keep my butt planted in the chair.
