Comments:

Strange Contest, Conditions were exactly opposite those on CW, i.e. High Bands
were HOT and Low Bands were NOT.  Backscatter and Es propagation on the High
Bands was MUCH Better than last weekend on CW.  Low Band activity was sparce
and scattered all over the available Bandwidth.  

OFF Time Management was really weird.  I operated 5.5 hours straight before
taking my first OFF Time.  I still think 2 hours of mandatory OFF Time in a 12
hour contest is a Foolish Idea.  I would vote for either eliminating the OFF
Time requirement or reducing it to ONE Hour.

RUNS were short and unsustained.  A second Tribander and restoring my 2L40
would be a BIG improvement in the performance of my station in this contest.
