Comments: 

This is the 2rd year I ran the 160 meter contest running 5 watts. 

Conditions were good but I did not hear much  DX.

As compared to 2004 I made 51 more QSOs and 5 more sections this year. This
is becoming one of my favorite contests!

It is nice to operate the contest at night which leaves the day time 

to run errands such as moving my daughter from Columbus to Canton on
Saturday!
