Comments:  Great time!!!  Yep - 40 and 80 were great - quiet and good EU
openings - even during last hour of contest 40 was amazingly good into EU.
160 mtr slopper worked ok - can use some inprovement - but didn't think it
was bad for a slopper with no radials, etc.  Of course the 80 mtr slopper is
what I have used for several years and usually surprised at how well it does
- if the band is favorable.  Worked 3X5 on 4 bands and they seemed to be
loud on each of the bands with good ops!  Unfortunately I seemed to miss
most of any 10 mtr opening - if there was one.  Great way to wind down after
big family gathering for Thanksgiving - except some were here through most
of Sat...hihi   Fun as alwsys!!!  73's Dick
