Comments:

My class was Multioperator Two-Transmitter (M2), because I ran assisted (used a
cluster).  That gave me a slight advantage to pick up multipliers but not QSOs. 
As usual I was S&P.  Since I am CW challenged, I do use CWGet, and it
decodes much better than I copy.  Using it really makes the contest fun, much
like a RTTY contest.

Heard Pete-W4WWQ on 10 meters before the start, but when the clock started, I
was unable to work him.  However, N4UA George and ED N3CW were on 10, so I
picked up two locals at the start.  Moved to 15 and worked some, before taking a
break - afternoon nap time.

The bands were quiet as far as noise.  I ran the preamp on 15 and 20.  On 80 and
160, I had the attenuator off.  Heard some lighting crashes during the night
time storm, but never heard any thunder.  If I had, I probably would have
shutdown.

160 operations was a treat with multipliers as good as 80 meters.

Quit with about :30 left on the clock, but I was tired, my BIC time was
exceeded.
