Comments:

Fine contest.  My goal was 750 q's but I beat that.
Running Hi Power really helped. Our Henry 4K Ulta didn't even get warm at
1450 Watts.
Biggest kick was having all the Europeans calling me while I was CQ'ing on
7082.  I only made 1 QSO on 80, I could hear only one station above the noise.  
I have seen comments about low activity?  I been in every RR and it wasn't that long ago that make 500 QSO was rare.  This use to be a stateside contest, like the Novice Roundup.  Working any DX was rare.  Now look, guys are making over 1000 QSO's, while on 10 and 15, I thought I was in a DX contest with the number of Europeans on.  Yes it is possible to work everyone and still have time left in the contest.  But this is RTTY and not SSB/CW.
Cu Next Year.
