Comments:

It was wonderful to work Dick N6AA at 4L0A and Jim N6TJ at KH6ZN. No US West
Cast qso this year although I worked W6 and XE on the long path 2 days
before
the contest.

We had a lot of activity from VU2 this year and that is very heartening - I
counted at least 10 stations very active.

15m & 10m did not live up to expectations as compared to the SSB weekend.
Lost
about 11 hours of prime operating time due to social engagements and sleep -
this is fast becoming a habit now ;-)

Station improvements made the night before the contest - completed assembly
of
a 2 radio x 6 antenna Six Pak antenna switch. This was the first contest
where
I did not unplug or re-connect a coax. N6ZZ says I am ready for next year :)

73 and see you all next year - Prasad VU2PTT.
