That was a nice uptick for me from last year.  It seems like people lost
interest interest in 40 Saturday night (local,) and in 15 towards the end.
I was glad to see that the vast majority of DG contacts were on FT4, where
the motto is:  "FT4: Only half as painful as FT8!"

40 RY was getting pretty thin and I have high SWR on my 80m antenna in the
high 3500's, so I finally switched over Saturday night to FT4 and worked a
bunch.  Meh.

It was good to see the activity, but I missed a lot of very common, simple
DX multipliers like HA, LA, R, UA, and even LU...weird.  Not much out of
the Caribbean or anything else South of Yuma.

All in all, RTTY is my favorite contest mode, and saving the DG for last
let me pay a little closer attention to the Niners' win over LA!

Thanks for all the Q's and see you in NAQP.
