Hard work, but worth it. Thanks to Jeff, KU8E, for coming over Friday afternoon and getting the computer keying going again. Nearly wore out my right arm sending too much with the paddle anyway, but wouldn't have been possible to have done so well without the computer keying. High bands a little better than expected. Low bands a little better than expected. 15M seemed open to everywhere near the start, but that didn't last long. 10M had a Es opening from GA to W1 and W2 early in the contest period Not many found it. Those who did couldn't stay long because rate was suffering. With low power I can seldom get much rate running on 80M, but this was an exception with a lot of west coast stations calling. A mixture of running and S&P, maybe about half and half, depending on the band, Don't think anyone answered my CQs on 160. Thanks for all the QSOs and CU next week on SSB. 73, John, K4BAI.
