Comments:

The good conditions made for a really fun contest!  I did have to work around
some weird intermittent high SWR on my Yagi, but resorted to the inverted vee at
times. 

40 worked pretty well for me with an inverted vee and a low rotatable dipole
(which I also had to use on 15 at times).  On the other hand 80 was very
challenging.

Is it just me, or is pile-up behavior getting worse?  - Guys repeatedly over a
contact and even the DX station.  

As always, thanks for the good ears!

with ladderline and tuner) at 39 feet, and a rotatable 40 m. dipole at 42 feet.
