Comments:

Lots of fun.  Thanks to all who to took time to dig me out of all the noise/QRM.
 At times it was a nice clear frequency, but it was often a tight one.

Did not expect to get a clean sweep, needing UT, AK and SK on Sunday afternoon
and had been stuck on 80 multipliers for hours.  Decided to call CQ on 15 and
20 meters since I was getting some responses then with low power.  Fortunately
UT called in first.  About 90 minutes later, I just about fell off my chair
when a nice lady in AK called in.   Missing only SK, I quickly went outside and
turned my Steppir yagi slightly further to the northwest using the old armstrong
technique.  Within a few minutes, I found VE5AAD calling CQ and was able to work
him on the first call! Sweep!

Upgraded from my Collins S-line and high band dipoles used in prior years to
all "new" gear this year consisting of a Yaesu FT-1000MP and a 2
element Steppir yagi on an AB-577.  Continued to use my old 80 and 40 meter
dipoles strung in and between trees.  All worked well!

Tks & 73s,  Gary  WR3R
