Comments:

The new rules certainly make this contest more fun, efficient, and productive
from my puny station's perspective!  

Relatively happy with the results considering no tropo or Es openings were
detected here.  This was the lowest QRN levels I've experienced at this QTH in
quite a long time.  The humidity was > 90% throughout the contest thanks to
mild temps and melting snow & ice...that certainly did wonders to kill many
of the local powerline noise sources!

Added 24Qs x 19 Grids via WSJT modes on 6m and 1Q x 1 Grid on 2m.  Meteors
seemed pretty good as >~90% of Ms attempts were completed with stations
within ~1100 mile radius!

Best DX was W9RM @ ~1080 miles via Ms.  Pretty cool for a tiny station on a
"dead"  6m band!

As always, thanks to the local rovers for getting on and making the rounds in
the area.  It is fun to track & chase those "extra" QSOs.
