Radio:    IC-756 Pro (100 watts), AL-1200 (500-800w used sparingly)

Antennas: 80-10m G5RV up 35 feet (10 meters)
           Hy-Gain AV-640 multi-band vertical

Software: Writelog 10.28 + MMTTY 1.62 running under Windows XP Pro.

Last year I lost the W1 low-power title by a few QSOs to WA1EHK.  I knew I
could not compete this year with taking the Christmas tree down Saturday
afternoon and watching the N.E. Patriots clinch the AFC East title on Sunday
afternoon.  I merely hoped to pick up a few new RTTY band countries and band
states.  My first three QSOs were with ZF2NT on 15, 10 and 40 meters (thanks
for being so active, Bruce!).  I worked ME and WI on 10m, and DE on 3 new 
bands
(thanks W3PP!).  TF was new on 40.  I listened on 80m several times but heard
no one.  Guess since multipliers count only once, it's best to be on the most
runnable band.  I missed NH and RI, heard VT but didn't call it.

I'm submitting my meager log as a CHECK LOG since I solicited a QSO on packet
Sunday morning (looking for W3PP on 10m).  I ran mostly low power but turned
the amp. on for about 1/2 dozen QSOs.  I found some of my QSOs with packet, 
but
ran most of the contest without it.

A few times Writelog started to transmit but only a solid carrier for a few
seconds, then began to send the FSK.  I did have DX4WIN running in the
background, it may have been trying to access the sound card at the time 
time.
Other than that, I had no lockups or loss of sound or any other software
problems.

73 & thanks for all the fish - Jim AD1C
