Comments:

FINALLY BROKE 1,000,000 for the first time ever. Improved on operator
technicque, vertical grounding and sitting in the chair more. The later I think
probably helped the most HIHI.

I was dissapointed at the propagation on 80 and 10 meters. Also dissapointed at
the filtering in a real contest environment with my PROII. I am seriously
considering trading back to an FT-1000MP MKV. I think we are not where we need
to be for DSP filtering and want to get back to the ROCK SOLID cascaded filters
of the FT-1000MP. 

I was also very upset when my HeilPRO headset dissmanteled itself in the middle
of the contest as I was rotating it out of my face area. I had to spend an hour
figuring out how to glue the microphone back onto it without ruining it.
Counted that as a break time. Now looking for a better solution. Looking for a
"real" headset that also has the great audio that the Heil does.

Other than that a great contst and VERY HAPPY with the score at the end.

73 to all look forward to the CW contest.
