Comments:

Prop played games with me all weekend.  At times, both bands were flat. In the
end, the score surprised me, and to my satisfaction.

Openings were small, with none to the east coast, and nothing anywhere near the
west coast or to the southwest.  No Caribbean this time.  Still waiting to work
EU in the contest.  Gave a Clean Sweep to a few.

Saturday was the usual EN93wf in the afternoon and a new site at EN94wb, no
permission in advance and a few encounters with a nasty renter, and later the
land owner who told me I am welcome anytime.  Stopped at FN04aa on the way home
for 5 qso's as next time in the grid will be FN04xa opposite end of the grid.

Sunday started at FN14cb as the 4 elmt beam would not get down long laneway to
FN14ba without snagging in the trees lining the roadway (tuning tips still
installed)and was the best grid for qsos this contest, 67 Q's and good
elevation.  FN13bx followed, on the north shoreline of Lake Ontario, is not
good to the west. Then came FN04xa, best elevation and horizon.  Last hour was
spent at FN03ww as there was no prop.

Only worked one rover, K8MR/R once only.  We need more rovers south of the
border.

Many thanks to CQ for sponsoring the contest, and to all who participated to
make for a fun event.  Thanks to those who stuck it out to work me, especially
in poor conditions.  VE3SMA portable at the cottage in FN05 provided the only
qso's to the north, got them in 4 grids, will do better next time.
