Comments:

I hadn't done an NAQP for a couple of decades until the RTTY event last month,
and I barely got my feet wet in that one, so this weekend was exciting for me. 
Unwisely, I went for a 5K run before the event and didn't give the sun enough
respect.  The start of the contest found me asleep in a chair.  I revived
before it got too late and had a great time even if I wasn't my sharpest.  The
contest gave me a great opportunity to play with my new 160m wire vertical. 
The best part is that it works great on 160m, but it also tunes up on 40m and
all higher bands.  It needs some more radials and is a bit lossy; however, for
DX, it can make a difference on bands as high as 15m.  It is really fun to
switch back and forth between it and my horizontal 80m loop to see if I get
better S/N.

What is this Mt2?  Nothing about it in the rules, but it shows up mysteriously 
on the summary sheet from N1MM+ (and the score doesn't seem to compute):
