Comments:

My previous personal best was 940 Qs in 2014, and I was out to beat it.
Conditions were near optimal, and allowed me to break my personal record.

I could not get anything going on 20 SSB due to a 5:1 SWR.  Even with a tuner
and 100W, I could not get a run going.  My amp doesn't work well on 10m because
I think a slug needs tuning.  I discovered my erratic 80m dipole was working
during CQ WW RTTY, and it worked well for CQP.  Also have rotor problems which
really isnt a problem with it parked at 60 deg,

Was great to work people I know out there and say hi.  Very fun to be called by
EU stations like OM2VL and i4VEQ. Was fun to post to the scoreboard and watch it
during the contest.  Very motivating!

Thanks to the sponsors for a great event!  I really enjoyed it!
