Comments:

I used YYZ as a tribute to Rush drummer Neil Peart who lost his life to cancer
last Friday.   The band heard the Toronto Airport code YYZ on a navigation
beacon on a flight returning home.  They liked the rhythm of it, and wrote an
instrumental song incorporating the CW at the beginning of the song.

copied the name, although I had about 20% repeats.

Great to see 15m in action at the beginning of the contest.  Hope it is as good
for Winter Field Day in 2 weeks.  I started too late on 40m, and my score
reflects that.  Fun contest as always!

P.S.  Wow you locals were hard to work on 40m.  My antenna is too low, and probably interacts with my tribander.

Successfully upgraded my shack computer from Windows 7 to 10 on Friday with no issues with rig or CW interfaces.  I expect my Wouxun programming cable to fail.
