Comments:

Conditions were better than expected; it helped to have a noise level 
of S zero during the entire contest.  As usual for the low cycle, the 
European openings were short and signals were weak. It was necessary to 
hunt for all those Qs, resulting in a low QSO total.  I heard nothing 
from zones 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23.  Late morning/early afternoon openings 
to Scandinavia were helpful and full of nice surprises.  The only mults 
I heard but missed were J37T and VP8NO.  It was great fun, as always.  
Thanks to all stations who had the patience to keep asking for repeats.  
The FT-1000D, with its balance control instead of separate audio gain 
for the sub VFO, makes running and hunting with one radio a pleasure.  
Amplifier was a Titan and antennas were 4 el yagi and rotary dipole 
on the same mast.
