           Soapbox : I did a full, but somewhat relaxed effort. In the 
better luck next time category, I heard W0BH in Kansas several times, 
but I never connected with him for the mult. I also missed Minnesota. 
That was just plain careless. I heard several, but was convinced that I 
had already logged one when in reality I had not (doh!). I took 
advantage of the almost automatic antenna and band switching 
capabilities of the Elecraft KPA-500 SSPA and KAT-500 Autotuner a made 
more than two band changes. Anyway, as usual, I was hoping for better 
numbers than I was able to achieve, but it was still fun trying. I even 
made some progress on my station grounding project. My ground system is 
almost to the point where I wouldn't be embarrassed to admit that I am 
the one who built the station :-)

See you all next time.
