Comments:

Just a few hours of operation during a busy weekend. Decided to go  
High Power so I wouldn't be a pipsqueak with only 25 watts on the  
barefoot K2/100. Worked the first hour, the 0300z hour and the last  
two hours.

All Qs on 20 and 40m. Only a couple were S & P. The rest were calling  
CQ. Managed very good rate on 20m, but nothing like going to 40m at  
2245z near the end. Had guys calling right up to 0000z.

Best moment was having PZ5RA call in just before the end.

Cocoamodem did an excellent job decoding. However, I sometimes hit  
the wrong keys. A couple of times, it acted like Unshift-on-space  
wasn't working. Had guys give me a report of 599 ,# ,# ,# - after I  
asked for several repeats, finally found out ,# was NH.

Biggest problem was having multiple people call at the same time,  
resulting in a garbled mix. QRZ DE AA4LR over and over.

Sure was fun. Look forward to the next contest.
