Software : N1MM Logger V14.6.0
              Rig : FT-1000MP
         Antennas : a) 10M,15M,20MVR-3,Force12-Vertical Tribande + 3ele 10M
yagi
		    b) 40M & 80M wire antenna

          Soapbox : 

	The objectives for this test were:
		1)	Maximize QSOs with WRTC teams 
		2)	Have plenty of fun
		3)	Stay in the chair for 24 hours
		4)	1,200 QSOs , Score : at least 500K 

	Saturday (contest starts at 7:00 AM local time)
		1200z: started  on  40M, but my wire antenna on did not help to get some JAs
heard;
			just a bit on 20M
		1240z: switched to 15M which was slightly  better �"where I started
working WRTC
			stations here, although  they were consistently at almost at noise level
S2-S3. 
			One curious detail is that during this 15M incursion, most of them 
			asked me to QSY to 20M �"which I did,however, I realized the 20M band
was 
			practically closed to the North east USA -during our local morning;
			So, despite changing bands never heard them.
		1750z: 	I finally started to run at 1750z on 10M with a good harvest of WRTC
stations; 
			they were consistently  about  the S4  same level,the only exception being
			K1A which was S7 -by far the strongest one;I guess its antenna was properly

			oriented antenna to my location.
		1930z: Thunderstoms and rain raised noise levels to S9 for an hour; which
slowed me
			considerably 
		2256z: conditions got better on 15 and 20M

	Sunday:
 		0200z: 	20M turns in great shape, allowing small runs
		0400z: 	80M is an horrendous s9 static noise level, just  a couple of 
			contacts (big guns).
		0429z: 	40M managed to get a small run until another station just stomped on
			my frequency and kicked me out. Oh well, just using here 100W my wire
antenna.
			Then going back and forth between 20M and 40M. 
		0631z: 	finally got K1F on 40M; it seems that they spent alot of time on 80M
		0635z:	Too tired, called quits.
 

	Results vs Objectives:
		1) Claimed WRTC stations worked:  58 out of 59.  Good!
		2) Twice the fun!  WRTC + IARU. Success!
		3) Time on:  15 out of 24 hours.  63% , goal not met due to:  
			a) Current callsign holder Age (90% weight) and  
			b) 1 hour of bad atmospheric conditions(10% weight)
		4) Claimed QSOs: 626 Claimed score: 226K . 50% accomplishment

	Nevertheless, the thrill of chasing WRTC stations was a lifetime event! 

	Claimed worked WRTC stations 58 unique, mostof them on CW (only 4 on SSB):
		10M - 33
		15M �" 45
		20M -  4
		40M -  3

	Thanks to fellow contesters  for all the Q’s and congratulations to the WRTC
organizers
	 and volunteers, you did  a superb  job !
