Comments:

I have always been too busy with family things to do much in the Stew Perry, 
but this year I found more time to dabble (4+ hours).  The participation seemed 
to be very good this year, and, WoW, the JA's were as strong as the locals on 
Sunday morning.  I had a blast.

I used my remote station near Victorville Ca - a Kachina 505DSP and a SGC 
500watt solid state amplifier.  Always exciting to have the modem drop 
temporarily during a QSO!  Calling CQ is quite a mouse-intensive activity, 
moving between the radio control window, the CW send window, and the Writelog 
QSO entry window. S&P was easier.

Antenna is a 40' top loaded 80m vertical with a trap and a 160m "L" wire, fed 
over 66 66' radials.  Seemed to work well enough.

Once again, a great contest, perhaps I can spend more time in it next year.
