Hi,

Many thanks to contest sponsor and to all participants. And a special thanks 
for the following five bander and who are in order: VP5NN, WW7OR, K5AM, 
KU1CW, W0SD, and XE1KK. For a few seconds, I thought that my system was 
getting hits/misses when I worked K4WW and K3WW back to back! ! !  I had a 
terrific time as usual. There is a 300 and a 450 ohm line coming into the 
shack. One is attached to a home-brewed balance line tuner. Due to a mistune 
on one band, RF only go into the shack and locked my keyboard up once.

As my wire antennas are swing in the breeze supported by pine trees, I am 
pleased to report the following for my 22:41 hours of effort:

     QSO    State  Prov   
80    205         8        0
40    101         6        3
20    222         2        1
15    158       14        3
10    101       17        3
        ===     ==      ==
Total 787     47       10   

score: 787 QSO's * 105 Multipliers  =   82,635


Gear: FT1000MP Mk V (abt 100w) - WriteLog/MMTTY and DSP599zx
Ant: "wannabe" rhombic @ 15m wid abt 100m on each side - 80m dipole @ 9m
