This was a casual effort, at best.  In Iowa, I found conditions to be pretty 
poor, and running 150 watts was painful.  I had no "fighting power" on 10 
meters, and left many a pile up in disgust.  No JA opening materialized.  The 
low bands were empty.  All-in-all, not very exciting.  Just glad I was not in 
it seriously!

Quite a contrast in operating techniques of entrants when compared to the 
Round Up.  Many in this contest need more in the way of "preparation" before 
getting on the air....
