Hi guys,

Well done on some big signals - I'm sure they will translate into some big
scores too !

I was hoping to do this contest again from my radio club which has a triband
beam, but in the end I had to operate from home with my Butternut vertical
and my 80m dipole barefoot from my TS850.

Saturday was hard work - I was not being heard a lot - or I was hearing lots
of stations just too weak to copy properly.  By the evening time I was
starting to make a little progress, but it was 95% Search and Pounce !
Sunday morning was better, and that was when 10m opened up and I started to
work lots of WRTC stations.  In the end I was missing 5 - no T-Shirt for me
!

Single Op Mixed Mode

Band   Q        Mult
10        134    19
15        136    35
20        200    43
40        48      17
80        69      20
160       3         2

Overall:  590 QSOs, 227,528 pts.   Not a great score - but very pleasing
with my 'home' station.  No 5/5/5 here !

Still trying to find a house for radio contests ! - estate agents (realtors)
not very hopeful when I show them some photo's of a lattice tower and a yagi
on top.  :-(

73,

Lee.
