Comments:

I wanted to operated a lot more than I did, but it was still a blast. I had
a
good run on 10M (sporatic E opening ??) on Sunday morning. I worked only one
European on 10M, a CT1.  I heard an S5 and 9A5Y, but they were really,
really weak and they couldn't pull me out.
40M seemed great, but
I missed most of the second night because I went to the movies with my
girlfriend. I love this contest, it's a great format.

I worked a few WWYC guys, but I can't remember who.

Equipment:

Kenwood TS 930
Icom 761

I'm planning a trip to the outerbanks of North Carolina for an operation in
the IOTA contest. I'm not sure how big or small of an operation yet.
Probably an entry in the 12 hour class.

I'll be on for ARRL field day this year as well as the IARU contest. IARU
will probably be from home again.
