Comments:

Thanks to BARTG for sponsoring the Contest.  
Also, thanks to all who participated and were kind
enough to work me.  Appreciate all the QSOs.

The bands were okay - a bit above average for this
part of the Cycle.  Ten was good, but for a short 
time.  The lower bands were quite which is always 
good on the ears.  

Nice participation.  Plenty of stations to work and
seemed like always a band or two open to a ham 
population.

Did have one problem - getting RF into the computer.
Just started after removing the rigging attached to the computer for the 
NAQP SSB Contest last weekend.  Thought I 
had put all the stuff back to the way it was before the NAQP, but must have
missed something.  Several times a sound card's input would 
switch from "line in" to "microphone".  The waterfall
would go blank without anything showing up in the 
receive window.  First time it happened, took approx. 
30 minutes to figure out how to get the sound card 
to work again.  Unfortunately, this occurred during 
the 10 meter peak time.  This same thing happened 
several more times.  Eventually, kept the sound card's
control panel window open on the second monitor. 
Then whenever the waterfall/spectrum would vanish 
from MMTTY display, the sound card's input could be 
switched from microphone to line in.  Still would 
loose some QSO data being sent to me, but it was a 
work around for this Contest.  Not sure what the 
fix will be - may even have to straighten out the 
"rats nest" of wires in back of the operating position.
That is going to be a BIG job.  

  73,
  Mike, K4GMH
