Comments:

Started late in a casual effort as one of four HP stations operating
concurrently at W6YX.

Goals were 500 to 600 Qs and close to a clean sweep, while refamiliarizing
myself with Win-test in preparation for the upcoming CQ WW CW test.  Had too
much fun and ended up operating more than planned, exceeding both goals.

I used the newly refurbished Pro67A at 45 feet for most of the contest.  It
worked fine, but because it is a multi-band antenna situated in the middle of
the rest of the 'YX antennas, I suffered from more interference than the other
HP stations using the monobanders.  My apologies to those who had to provide
fills or repeats as a result.  I was effectively struggling with S5 to S7 QRM
noise and at times a desensed receiver periodically throughout the contest. 
That provided a new kind of challenge in the contest.  I also had to stay away
from the most active bands during much of my operating.

As always, thanks for all the Qs.

73,

John
