Comments:

This was a great learning experience using SO2R really for the first time with
no major problems. I need to learn to use both radios consistently, and I still
have some inter-band interference.

Conditions seemed better Sunday than Saturday. It sure is aggravating to hear a
S9 station but he doesn't begin to hear you - even with HP. Only worked one JA,
no VK/ZL, and for 20 meters ... can you say "QRM Hell" ??? But it was fun!

My goal was 1000 q's and a 1M score - got the q's with 15 minutes to go but
missed the score. 

I had one op who argued Delaware (DE) was not a real state - he thought it was
only a county in Pennsylvania.   TU ... QRZ?

Thanks to CQ and the sponsors for a nice fun contest, and to all the ops kind
enough to put me in their log. LotW and eQSL uploads coming.
