Comments:

This was a part time/day time contest for me, but it was sure a lot of fun.  I
think this is my favorite contest of the year! (Although I do say that about
most contests when they are over).  The bands seemed to cooperate this weekend.
 15M was a nice surprise, and 20M was open to Europe on Sunday morning.  

I got my first Zone 2 contact this weekend and several new countries.  I also
want to thank K6NA for two mults on 10 meters.  My only other contacts on 10
were Hawaii and Argentina.

I used two PC monitors for the first time, and that sure made life easier.  I
had the log on one screen, and the packet cluster, rates, mults. etc. on the
other.  It cut down on screen clutter and helped keep me focused on what I
should be doing.

Rig:  Elecraft K2/100.  It worked flawlessly.  I had hoped to have my K3 by
now, but in actuality I didn't miss it.

Antenna:  Every one I owned was destroyed by the wind storm last month.  I have
an MFJ-1798 vertical up until further repairs are made.  I am sure I would have
done better with a beam, but this guy worked surprisingly well!

Software:  Writelog -- love it!

Computer:  Macbook Pro running windows XP.  Microham micro Keyer interface.

73,

John, WA6L
