Comments:

Since my recent move to North Carolina, my station is still in flux.  Operated

this contest with low power into an OCF 80m Carolina Windom @ 40 feet.  I am not

a CW guy so all CW contacts were S&P.  Phone contact were a mix of Running

which was not very fruitful most of the time and S&P. 

I had not planned to operate Friday night as I anticipated the band to be dead,

but since it was very productive I stayed with it until after midnight.  Friday

was a NE propagation pipeline.  Saturday was mostly dead, Sunday produced a

pipeline to the upper Midwest.  Missed IN, NM, ND, AR, and OK.  No DC.  Got a

few XEs, half the Canadian Provinces and No EU.

Hopefully by this time next year I will have my tower up with my Beams and

amplifiers a blazing.
