Comments:

This was a disapointment!

My fifth experience of this contest.  As always, my overall goal was 
25% BETTER than last year; instead I achieved 51% OF last year.  My 
secondary goal was to increase my 80M DXCC count as I reach for 80M 
DXCC and 5BDXCC -- with only 4 Qs on 80, that was a bust as well.  

Rig: TS-2000
Antennas
	80/40	Modified Alpha Delta DX-CC at ~7m (NNW <-> SSE)
	HF "stack" on roof tower
		10	HB 5el yagi @ 10m
		15	Rotatable Dipole @ 11m
		20	HB Moxon @ 12m
Logger: N3FJP's ARRL International DX Contest Log Version 4.4

10M -- 	All to the south, 35% of last year's contribution.
15M -- 	Mostly south, four EU mults, 14% of last year's contribution.
20M --	The best band and split between EU and south, 224% of last 	
	year's contribution.
40M -- 	Again, split between EU and south, 110% of last year's 		
	contribution, mostly because I was on 40 rather than 80 at 	
	night.
80M -- 	S8 noise the whole time.  Friday night I even went outside to 	
	see if	my antenna had fallen down!  0.75% of last year's 	
	contribution: (4 Qs/4 Mults vs. 61 Qs / 35 Mults in 2016).  	
	Obviously, I gave up on 80M. 	
160M -- no antenna, and for once I wasn't upset at this, given how bad 
	80 was...

73 -- Larry -- W1DYJ
