First chance to submit contest scores under SCCC.  Not a
stellar score, but met my goals:  operate at least 12
hours, work a good number of sections, and work at least
25/hr.  (I had to "warm up" a bit with my rusty CW.)  Surprised that
I only got a good run going for about an hour.  Pleased that the 10
QSO peak rate was north of 60 given the exchange for SS.
Ran 100W barefoot with a wire antenna.  Gain antenna would
have been nice for the great high band propagation.  My first
serious try at SS CW.  Definitely different from FD or a VHF test.
