Comments:

A year can and will make a difference...
Friday night band was really bad...for hours some noise not related
to the weather, sounded like a buzzsaw...the stormy weather in the
area didn't seem like a factor with all the other going on.

Saturday turned out better, but still not up to "snuff"..

Comparing last year to this year....2011 was a banner year!
269 less Q's this year, 25 less countries with the sections the
same at 58. Score way behind this year due to lack of 10 pointers
642K last year - 314K this year...

It was still a lot of fun - thanks to Tom, W8JI, for allowing me
to again invade his farm and great station.. 

Murphy struck for a change...lightning had gotten into the main
beverages earlier in the week and didn't really show results until
into the night on Friday night...most contacts made receiving and
transmitting on the 4-Square....Tom got it all fixed on Saturday
afternoon and was back in business the second night.

Hardest contact to pull out and finally know had gotten the call
correct was 5B4AIF....this one and many more took a lot of patience.

Thanks to all who made it into log and to the many in Europe who did
not....you had staying-power, but I just couldn't pull you out..

Happy to have KH6AT call on Saturday morning with usual big signal 
and Rich, KL7RA, call on Sunday morning with another big signal..for
my last mult and last state...leaving the usual NF, LAB, NWT and YT.

Thanks again Tom....you are special!
