This year's score much improved over last years 488k.  New 40m yagi worked
very well.  Missed run on 15m Sunday morning 'cause I went to 15m a little
too late.  All hardware worked fine.  One minor problem with CT9.27.  Every
once in a while I would lose the bandmap.  The new calls would go to the map
but it stopped responding to the radio and then changing bands on the radio
wouldn't change either the bandmap or the summary window.  Puzzlement!

BTW...Many comments on the quiet condx on  80m.  In our local area noise
hasn't been worse in quite some time.  Could only copy the strongest signals
on 80m (read, under quiet condx I would have made more Qs there).

Hope to improve more next time out.  73.........Fred/WA0QOA

RATHER WORK CW!!!

P.S. Mni tnx to all of those lending moral support before, during and after
the contest as well as all who helped with the much needed antenna work
before the contest.
