Contest comments:
Pretty fun contest, even though 40 never opened to EU.  Looks like low =
band stuff is over with in AK!
Lots of activity, but a LOT of number 1's were being sent :)
Hope the log checkers don't think I was cheating!
Had a few problems though.  This is the backup rig, and seemed like I =
need a backup to the backup. =20
It would just stop transmitting for no reason.  I thought it was =
overheating so I threw another fan on it. =20
It ran cool for the rest of the time, but still had the same problem.  =
Something intermittent... I hate those!
Had to quit a few times to wait for it to work, so that lost a lot of =
q's.  Plus I quit about 2 hours early
because I kept falling asleep at the computer.... and had to send the =
exchange with the computer. =20
I just couldn't send with the paddle anymore.  Did manage to work VK0MM =
on 20ssb before I=20
went to bed though, so that was nice.  (I guess I'm only allowed 1 more =
qso with him now... geeeeeez)

Condx were excellent, with 15 open to EU the whole time.  Had a lot of =
cool stuff call in, and FINALLY got a=20
ZS on 15!   Even with my old call I could never find one. =20

This free software is great! =20

Anyway, not too bad for a really low tribander... and those 2 q's on =
40... had a sked with KK7GW for the=20
W mult, and worked N6MJ too  :)

Great contest, see everyone in WPX!=20
