Comments:

Great contest as usual.  Didn't hear any Europe with one important 
exception.  OH2BO called me while I was calling CQ Saturday night. I 
don't hear much EU on 160 out here in Southern California, and this is 
no doubt the first time a EU station called me instead of the other way 
around.  Hope no one is pulling my leg.

18 JAs in the log, conditions didn't seem quite as good as they could 
have been.  I also did not hear any VE4, NL or PR station in the contest.

I worked the contest remotely the first night with a TS480 and my SGC 
solid state AMP.  Controlling things over the Internet adds another 
variable and the TS480 can't handle the strong signals.  It was a joy to 
operate the second night locally at the station using my IC756 Pro II. 
Could hear a lot better and could use my AL1200 to run a bit more power.

73,  Dana
