Score: 51,992

Operating Time: 11 hours 41 minutes

Missed two states (NV and ND).  Missed four Prov (NB, NS, NWT, and 
YUK).

Rate:  From 1900Z to 2200Z had rate greater than 57/hour.  High rate 
was 70/hour.  

Funny stuff:  Got up this morning around 4:45AM and started operating, 
ran 20 Meters for over an hour on the 40/80 Meter dipole.  Heard local 
station WO4D working everybody and I couldn't half hear what he was 
working.  I couldn't hardly work anybody.  Heck, I thought my tower or 
antenna must have fell down...  After I discovered my bone-head mistake, 
the rate when up pretty good.  Got to get the antenna switched to the right 
place.  hi hi

The rigs played pretty good.  Ran the FT 990 on 15M.  Ran the FT1000 
on 10/20 and 40.  The rigs ran good.  I was really surprise to work 
ZL9AMI on 15M, was really surprise to hear him on the fixed position 
DB1015.   The Multi-Modems play good again.  Everything was fine.  The 
stub kept the noise out of the other radio.  To bad I did not get the A3/40 
up it might have been alot better...  

cul and 73
