Comments:

I had planned on it. but was not able to drive to my contest qth for this one so
ran from home. 

Only used a 40m delta loop for 10m-40m, and a wire vertical for 80 that I threw
up Sat morning. This worked well on most bands, but 160 of course. Normally I
would run on 160 from the contest location, but with the limitations I struggled
to make a few Q's at high swr using the 80m vertical. Conditions on 20 and 40
were good here, 80 was ok albeit a bit noisy. 160 didn't sound bad considering
80m vert for tx/rx, set aside normal summer QRN.

My first off time ended up at 1:45 and with a minimum of 30 min per, I gave away
15 mins of op time. A work call and request from the XYL lengthened the first
off time, but hey, such is life!

Overall. I had a great time. Operating from home does have advantages such as a
real dinner rather than cup o soup with water heated on a small gas camping
stove :-) .

Nice to work so many of the usual contest suspects with quite a few new ones
thrown in. I much appreciate all the Q's!
TNX es 73's all! Cu in the next one.
