Logger: N3FJP's ARRL IARU HF Contest Log ver4.1
	(with API connection to ACLog to track overall needed bands/countries.)

Comments:  This was a casual effort, mostly in honor of WRTC14 and our
	great "K1KP Beam Team."  The three Wimbledom finals to watch meant
	I only spent about a hour off-and-on during the day in the chair.
	With my modest antennas, 10M was essentially non-existent. 15M was
	not much better.  20M was very noisy, as some have mentioned. It was 
	not much fun.  Finally, after dinner, I had a chance to pay more
	attention. By then 40M (reasonable) and 80M (noisy) became viable,
	and the contest became fun. Although I didn't make any 160 Qs, I
	did hear a few stations on my unorthodox 160 "vertical." 

	Even with my meager CW skills, I found myself spending more time
	in the CW portions of the bands.  The reported dB gain of CW over
	phone is quite real!
