Wow!  First, I want to thank Tony, K1KP, for the use of his fantastic station! 
This is my first experience on a real 'contest station' and it is a true game
changer!  It was also my first experience with a modern SDR radio and with
remote ops.  Tony has great documentation so the setup was straight forward.
Condx were generally pretty good although 10m on Sunday was a bit of a
disappointment.  I had a few good runs of 100+ Qs/hour but was pushed out by QRM
most every time.  I guess running as LP has special challenges. hihi  I focused
on getting Qs up through Sun. PM then switched to hunting mults.  A few good
surprizes; Guam, Aland Isl., Chatham Isl., AK and HI.  This was my first contest
on 80m.  I prob. should have spent more time there but didn't really think of it
much as I don't have an antenna for it on my station. 15m was the money band for
me, plenty of stations and lots of mults.
The big thing I learned was that I have a lot to learn.  I'm sure I could have
scored better with more timely band switching, more running vs S&P and
giving up sooner on pileups & stations that were not hearing me.  On to the
next one!
Thanks again, Tony!
