Comments:

29 hours operating time -- many of those hours were wasted in pursuit of the RF
seizing the computer every few minutes. By early Sunday morning, after
practically tearing apart the radio shack, I had it narrowed down to the
Ethernet connection (powerline ethernet). Disconnected the ethernet cable and
ran a wireless connection, which saved the day so I could keep track of email
and watch the Patriots/Dolphins game while CQing.

Not very pleased with this weekend's outing (mine, not the Pats -- they did
great). Lowest WW RTTY score in many years. Let's hope for better next year. 

Countries were up a few from last year (thanks to Europe on 40M), but zones and
states were down -- mostly because 15M was only open to South America and
nowhere else.
