Comments:

This is the first time in a number of years that I ran this contest from my
house as I was usually operating on the multi team at my brother Bill's (W4RM). 
His tower has now been removed in preparation for his retirement and move.

I installed 2 new beverages for the upcoming 160 contests and they worked quite
well with the excessive noise on 40 and 80 during the contest.  The low solar
flux was also not helping along with the elevated A and K.

On the first night I had YT call me on 80 Meters so I thought I had the Sweep in
the bag.  I missed VI.  I did hear NP2X on both 20 and 40 but he was signing PR
as his section so I'm not sure what that was about.  The goal was to break 1000
as I had never done that from my home station and it didn't look good on Sunday
afternoon.  Later in the afternoon on Sunday things picked up and I was able to
reach my goal.  Thanks for the Qs and I'll CU on the bands.  73, Jack W4NF
