Comments:

This is my first actual entry in SS Phone.  Never got a run going like
I did on CW.  Very tough sledding.

Got my multiband dipole up to 55 feet at the apex right before the contest.
A little disappointed that raising it from 20 feet up to 55 did not make
too large of a difference.   Only saw about a 1/2 S unit difference on rcv 
between the
inverted vee  at 55 feet and my 20m dipole up 20 feet.

Very puzzled why my signal was barely readable over at AA6PW on 80M at 9PM, 
which is about 15
miles west of me.  I guess he is in the null off the end of my vee, but 
still!

Thanks to all of the MDC stations out there - you were well represented!

Where were the VE7's?  Finally worked one late Sunday.

72 sections will be my record - only got 70 on CW.  Missed

CU in 10 Meter Contest if condix are good.
