Comments:

For the second year in a row I operated from Beachcomber Campground on Ocracoke
Island. The station was simple - ICOM 735 and a Butternut Vertical. The contest
started well for the first two hours but things tapered off quickly and then it
was a slog for about 5 to 6 hours. As normal in the IOTA contest, things picked
up around 20z. 

15M was a disappointment with just 12 EU QSOs. Last year produced 188 EU QSOs
on 15. That is the probably the biggest factor in the 10 percent score
reduction this time around. 40M was super this year.

It seems like NA participation has increased. Nearly 60 percent of the Qs were
made with NA.

Plans for next year are already in the works.

As always it was a fun trip and thanks for the contacts.

73,
Nate/N4YDU
