Comments:

FT1000MP x 2, Alpha 78, AL811H, TH6DXX, dipole, zepp, inverted vee.
My first high power SO2R contest from home.  Some difficulties. 
Couldn't key
but one rig at a time with the keyer.  Kept hitting the wrong button on the
computer when going from CW to SSB and that caused the computer to crash.
Finally figured out what had been doing wrong and didn't cause that problem
again.  Band conditions seemed to be terrible.  Missed about 3 hours of 
prime
operating time Saturday evening in order to attend with XYL a party for our
church's associate pastor and his new wife (who is the daughter of 
K1DW).  High
QRN levels on 80.  Some power line noise on the higher bands.  Just 
barely beat
the low power M/S 24-hour score KU8E and I did last year as K4AAA from 
my QTH
with the same antennas.  Sometimes this year, I felt that I was not 
getting out
or hearing as well as last year and I know it must have been 
deterioration of
conditions.  Surprisingly, 15 meters opened to Europe as early as 1130Z on
Sunday giving a last chance at some mults there, including Scandinavians who
were missing on Saturday.  10 and 15 meters had some good short E skip on
Saturday, but there was very little activity on those bands.  20 meters was
often open to Japan, but there seemed to be very little activity from 
there.
Thanks for all the QSOs and mults, especially from the many HQ stations. 
  73,
John, K4BAI.
