Comments :

Good 1st hour but it seemed like it went down hill from there. I did terrible on mults this time even though I was SO2R and had the bands covered.
Heard but missed VT, IA, VE5,VE6 and VE7.  It's hard with LP and wires. If everyone came back the first time I would of had at least 75 more QSO's.
Interesting opening late on 20 meters - from about 0200-0245 was working W2,W3,W8,W9 on the 2nd radio until I did my QSY to 80 at 0245.
This is still my favorite contest despite my station limitations. 

73, Jeff
