Hi All
	Thanks to the sponsors, the Scandinavian Amateur Radio Teleprinter Group,
for another wonderful weekend. Even the gods of propagation smiled on us
poor deserving RTTY types.

	This year got off the an excellent start. Normally, start slowly, and pick
up speed as the contest  continues.  This year managed to start fast. By
(local time) 0330 was a factor of 2 above last years QSO count. Local
thunderstorms and QRN limited what could be heard on 80. Don't have room
for a beverage, But could use some directionality to limit noise pickup.

	The Saturday session was just so so, at this QTH, but managed to equal my
last years score.

	The Sunday session started very slowly, here, in Northern New Jersey.
Could barely hold rates of 15-17 per hour. Finally with a slight glow on
the horizon propagation to the EU opened up.  Kept listening with the other
VFO to other stations working JA's. I could not hear them. Managed to work
a few after 1100Z.

	Equipment at NO2T:

		KLM KT34XA @ 60 ft
		2 el wire Beam (40m) at 50 ft
		Delta Loop (80 m) Peak at 60 ft
		Yeasu 1000MP Mk-5, ICOM 781

With all that stuff here is my HCS. Still have to look for typos etc.
