I worked NLI and ME, the two ZFs and the VP5 but I sure missed a lot of 
others! I didn't hear any EU either night and only heard a couple of 
6s.  On the other hand, I didn't lose much sleep this weekend, so that 
tells you a lot too.  I don't think I've ever worked as many SECC members 
as I did this weekend.

Here's a question for the SECC experts:  I couldn't tell much difference 
between my inverted L and my CF dipole with the ends dropping down.  My 
next concern is ARRL-DX, so I guess conventional wisdom would say the 
inverted L would be better for EU/DX, right?  However, the vertical 
portions of the dipole are the same as the vertical portion of the L.  Any 
thoughts?  Obviously, what I really need to do is make some A/B tests.

One of these years I'll have Christmas stuff all taken care of so I can 
devote more time to the 160M and 10M contests.
