I did  get the plaque from Chaz and its great.  Thanks.  I really had  fun
with 100 watts and my Carolina Short 80.  Best parts was winning  the 12
meter plaque, working 100 entites, and working rare ones such as  VQ9LA, H40,
V73, and ZL7 on 40, ZD7 and 3C on 17, C5 and 5R8 on 15, 7Q7,  A61, BX5, JW,
H40 (Long Path they say HI), ST2, and ZL7 on 20 plus ZS6CCY  for plulling me
out on 75 SSB.  If you missed the contest you missed  FUN.

Dave,
   I totally agree.  It was fun and frankly surprising how  well I could do 
with 100w and a wire.  It brought back the thrill that only  comes from making 
the contact when you are not sure if you will get through or  not!  Many of us 
have forgotten what it is like to have to work....to work  DX !  I must admit 
it was odd getting all those 449 reports instead of 599  !  But that is 
exactly the point...you can work em with minimal power and  antennas.
   Maybe next year we will do it again, with a twist or  two!
Merry Christmas,
Bob
