Comments:

Great contest as always, conditions seemed pretty good stateside, not 
much DX though.  The JAs were very strong Saturday morning, but I didn't 
realize that until I started calling CQ and heard the response.  Sunday 
morning JA signals seemed weaker and I didn't work many more, except 
right at my sunrise.  I worked a total of 43 over the weekend.  I was 
very pleased to hear and work GI0KOW Saturday night at about 1130pm my 
time.  He wasn't very strong, but he was there.  The only Eu I heard. 
JT1C called me Saturday morning, he was very strong.

I started working the contest remotely using my TS480 and SGC 500watt 
amp.  I decided to drive out to the station (80miles away) and work the 
rest locally with my IC756 Pro II and  AL-1200.  The extra 700 or so 
watts helped, and there is nothing like having a keyer paddle at your 
finger tips rather than a computer keyboard.

Thanks for all of the QSOs.  My antenna is a 45' high inverted L over 66 
1/8 wave radials; my station is located at 3300' in the California High 
Desert near Victorville.
