Comments:

I had hopes of doing much better in this contests, however I did better than
last year.  Last year, I had 58 QSOs with 22 states and no other countries. This
year, I had 62 QSOs.  The state count was still 22, however I got 2 countries.
Last year's score was 2,850, so I had an improvement. My last contact was an
Italian.  For me that was great.  This also marked the first use of the
bi-directional beverage.  It is hard to say if  the contacts I hear are more,
but there is  definitely less noise.  Plus, the direction change is very
evident.  I have only to go out and put a cover over the transformer box to keep
the sun from fading and to make the box less visible.  I was a little frustrated
in myself as I made several mistakes at first coping calls wrong.  I had to go
back and edit several of the contacts.  I turned off the spot all contacts as I
didn't want to confuse others.
