I'm finally back on the air since moving from W1-land in May 2007.  Boy, are
things different out here in Colorado!  It seems everyone east of the
Mississippi River points their beams E/NE for the entire contest.  That makes
it hard to get anyone's attention with a puny setup.  Still, I was happy to
work Europe on both 20 and 40, and work my first Africans (well, not *mainland*
Africa).

It very much felt like I was operating a RTTY contest for the first time.  I
was totally unsure about my station capabilities.  I did manage a couple runs
on 40M the second day (even had a JA come back!), but could not get anything
going on 20M, so it was mostly dialing-for-dollars on that band.  Some
tuner-upper ruined my contact with UU7J on 40M, so I missed that double-mult,
and never got the attention of anyone else in Zone 16.  I did not work a single
station in Colorado!

I was out most of the day Saturday, so ended up operating some of Friday and
Saturday night, Sunday morning and late Sunday afternoon.
