Comments:

Running 100W from output of transceiver.  Interesting contest. I 
originally contemplated a QRP effort, but that quickly changed to low 
power.  My score was not better than last year, but I reached 1m 
points/1000 Q's in 18.5 hrs, vs a 26 hour operation last year.  My Q 
rate went up from 49 to 56 Q per hour on average and my operation was 
99% S&P.  I am very happy with that since I improved my operating 
techniques. Running an FT-1000MkV, triband yagi @ 15m and wires for 
80/40m and an INV-L for 160.  Using a pennant antenna for recieve, 
even on 15m--it was really needed.  The low band condx were not as 
good last year--lots of noise.  However, the KH2/AH0 stations were 
plentiful, which was great!.  Had lots of fun as usual.  Thanks to all 
participants and the contest committee--Tony   VE1ZA.
