Comments:

Well, that was fun!  Got some operating time in between other commitments. 
This is the most Q's I've made in a contest so far this year.  Conditions 
seemed pretty good for a change as I was actually able to hold a frequency 
for a couple of hours and run Saturday afternoon.

This is a fun contest for SO2R, but think I probably made too many band 
changes. I will probably be reclassified as a multi station.  Oh well, it 
was good practice.  Not going to win anything
anyway, but sure had a lot of fun

Sunday afternoon I worked a bunch of stations with less than 50 Q's, so lot 
of new guys and gals getting on to have some fun.  That is great for the 
participation.

The 20 meter beam was stuck pointed SE till Saturday night.  Heard Brett, 
VR2BG, and tried to work him off the back of the beam.  Couldn't get him so 
I climbed the tower and fixed the broken wire.  Got the antenna turned his 
way and never
heard him again.  Worked a bunch of JA stations tho'.

Thanks for all the Q's and for CQ for a fun contest.  73
