Comments:

Personal best in this contest.  Surpassed my previous highest score by 633K. 
What a difference a tribander makes.  My amp is no longer working on 10 meters
after having to change tubes.  Due to that all the contacts on 10 meters were
low power.  Great openings to Asia on Sunday working dozens of JA, KH2 and
UA9s.  The low bands were awful on Friday due to the solar activity.  Things
picked up on Saturday.  My 80 meter effort is the best I have had in a DX
contest.  My simple inverted vee played very well.  40 meters was ok on my
Windom but I need a better solution there.  Perhaps a vertical.  Seemed as if
the amount of available mults was lower on 40 this year.  Overall all very
pleased with my score.  I had a lot of time this weekend thanks to my wife
taking care of the kids for most of the weekend.  Thanks to the DX for the
QSOs.  73 de Bill, NW3H
