Comments:

Operated from my cabin in Florence County, Wisconsin about 10 miles from the
Michigan border.
Went up 2 weekends ago and put up the 40 foot (maybe)  inverted L and K9AY
loop.
Added 5 more radials to the original 7 on Friday morning.  Not sure if it
helped, but don't think it hurt.  I was expecting the tuning to change a bit,
but it didn't at all.  Still nice 1:1 match at 1825 with a 2300 pf doorknob at
base.  Not sure what that means.

Got out to a slow start.  Was down about 100 Q's Saturday morning from last
year, but made up 80 of them Saturday night.  Down a few DX mults of my
miniscule total but added the 3 new VE3 mults, so ended up with pretty much a
wash with last years score.

Had a lot more people CQ in my face than two previous years.  Not sure what
that means.  Hope my signal isn't getting weaker!
