Comments:
Band Conditions seemed very ordinary. Signals were moderately good, but
I've heard better. Made 95% of my contacts above 7.025 to see if I
could work more Gen/Adv, but a preliminary scan of my log indicates most
of the calls belong to extras. Something can always be said for
consistency, but I was hoping to better my effort last year by more than
19 contacts and 1 multiplier :) Managed to work most of the states
except ND, SD, MS, and WY. Three of the four are traditionally hard,
but can't figure out how I can work RI four times and not one contact
from MS. Enjoyed the contest and appreciate all the contacts. See
you next year.
