Comments:

"Val" was in  memory of W8KIC, who passed away in early December.

I agree fully with  others, the first part was crummy, the second half pretty
good. Not much  short propagation, so worked very few OH, MI, WV, IN. The
weekend snow left  lots of power line noise to add to the challenge.

While technically SO2R,  I don't do that much of it because 10,15,20, and the
main 40 meter antenna is  one antenna, a PRO-67A. Had I planned ahead I could
have set up 80 or 160 on  the second radio, but I didn't.  However with one
radio I am becoming  good at multitasking, doing both the contest and reading
the news  online.
