Comments: Finally added wire to 80 mtr slopper to get on 160 - finished
about 
30 minutes before contest!  I was pleasantly surprised at results on 160.
 80 seemed
pretty noisey both nights.  Good LP opening to EU on 40 Sat morning - but
it didn't 
seem to be as good on Sunday morning.  I missed prime time both mornings
but
still was able to get EU - especially Sunday afternoon on 20...good
thing...my mult
count was down this year.  Quite a few of the JA's...which helped the Q
count - 
otherwise score would have been WAY down!  Several big sounding 100W
signals. 
Kurt, VP9/W6PH, seemed to be having a great time - worked him on 80,40
and 20
...but missed him on 160 and 15.  Hope everyone had fun.  C U next time -
