Comments:

I wanted to make 400 qso's nearing the end of the contest and I made that. I
really wanted to get 200 multipliers and I barely got that, but then I was able
to get more near then end in the last hour. I am pleased with my 80 meter
station, only 100 watts to a vertical wire, but with prompting from my SMC club,
I put down lots of radials underneath it. That really helped! 

I wish 10 meters had opened, I only really heard 1 station there, an EA8 that
was super loud on a dead band when I was expecting SA to come in. I think we
both surprised each other with how loud we were. Only 1 of 2 contacts made on
10. Come on sunspots! I heard the bottom is going to be in April. I hope so.
This is rough on a low power station that can't run. All S&P again. Lots of
fun though! 

Highlights, busting numerous pileups with low power especially ZS6 and V5,
finding J2 before the cluster got hold of him and the 3 contacts I made on
160!!! Thanks TI and ZF for those!

73, Craig KD9MS
