Comments:

Rig:  1KW, Spiderbeam at 30 feet, wire antennas.

Fun contest overall, I thought conditions were pretty good except for 80M. 
I
managed to work all 83 sections because I got the NT station when I was 
calling
CQ on 20M.  I was lucky because I did not see the NT station calling CQ. 
845
contacts is a new record for my station, the 70 QSOs on 10M helped a lot.  I
enjoy trying to work all of the sections, so taking the time to search for 
them
lowered my overall score some I'm sure.  Plus I spent some extra time on 10M
and 15M trying to get some more of the last few states I need for 5BWAS.

I also noticed that there were more newer hams on, with license years in the
00s and 10s, I tried to send a "FB" to them when in QSO.  It was nice
to hear them on.

No equipment failures (knock on wood), except for one arc fault I got on my 
N/S
20M loop when on 15M (and its tuning circuit) at 1KW, but I just used my E/W
facing loop for 15M to finish the contest.

I tried the N1MM+ (new plus version) logger, and was ready to revert to the 
N1MM classic if
needed, but N1MM+ seemed to do just fine so I was able to use it the whole
contest.

73, Charlie
