One of my favorite contests, and the one I have the longest 
time with: my 23rd continuous annual event.  The good 
news -- I did better than the last time the sunspots were 
this weak.  Probably due to using CW -- in 1994 I was still 
a Tech and was just getting back into Ham Radio after 25 
years away due to marriage, kids, station wagons, dogs, etc.  
Back in '94 I had a dipole strung up across the corners of my 
bedroom in my bachelor apartment, with a TS-430S.

This was good practice for my still meager CW listening skills,
as I spent lots of time listening to weak CW signals.  I did 
capture a new country on CW -- Tonga -- and a new state on 
10M CW, both already confirmed!  :)

I do have to wonder, given the weak signals, if my old, HB yagi 
needs some maintenance, or the coax needs replacement.  It did
seem that signals were weaker than I expected.
