Comments:

Single antenna for all bands: wire, 70ft (21m) long, 20ft (6m) high.

I've never liked SSB contesting, and I've participated in this contest only
twice before.  In 2007 I made 451 Q's and 208 mults, for 281,424 points; and in
2008 I made 433 Q's and 195 mults, for 246,870 points.  That this year's score
is 57% higher than my best previous score in this contest is nice; but mainly
this contest has reminded me how strongly I dislike SSB contests.  Before I can
face another one, I'll need another four-year hiatus.  CW is SOoo much easier
and SOooo much fun.  Why does _anyone_ use SSB?!
