Comments:

FT1000MP, 100W, TH6DXX, dipole, inverted vee, t vertical.  What a fun contest
this year.  Very low atmospheric noise.  Power line noise wasn't bad below 15M,
but was worrisome on 15 and 10.  Couldn't get the QSO rates I wanted by calling
CQ a lot, so most was S&P resulting in missing some of the stations who were
only doing S&P, but activity was high enough that very good rates were possible
on all bands while doing S&P.  Still miss the SO2R setup, which would have
helped the score a lot.  Last year, we were M/2 at WW4LL, but this year's score
is about 35% higher than in 2010.  Very little but west coast worked on 10 and
15.  20M had good short and long skip.  40M went long late, but was able to get
the close in states in the late afternoon.  80 and 160M were good even to the
west coast.  Heard every state except NE.  Missed working a few S&P stations in
HI and ND.  Good activity from most regions of Canada except the far north.
Nice to work VI, Cuba, Jamaica, and Mexico.  PY2NY was very QRV as DX as was
LU1FAM.  Thanks to N4KG, K4IQJ, KU8E, and W9RE for QSYs and mults.  SECC and
ACG team members were very active.  Thanks for all QSOs and Happy New Year to
all.  Next week hope to work you all from the WW4LL station M/2.  73, John,
K4BAI.
