Comments:

Best QSO count for me to date in any contest. Hooked up a loop wire antenna for
80m Sat night for a total of 2 contacts. Sunday morning I couldn't figure out
why there were lots of KL7 stations being spotted one after another when I
could not hear a single signal on 10-20m!  So I did QSL cards for over an hour
and a half fuming and wondering when the bands would open and checking every
few minutes. Was my coax broken? Eventually: Oh wait, antenna switch is still
on the 80 m loop! Turn the antenna switch and instant band opening to loud
siganls!  Off we go!  Ha ha! those 2 80m Qs the night before costs a couple
hundred on the higher bands.  
 
Missed a couple hours of prime running hours due to other commitments.  Nemesis
this year were NNY, SNJ and NL to complete the sweep.

Thanks to everyone.
