Soapbox:  The good news is that this is an improvement over last years score of 
          75,500.  The bad news is that it was a 29 hour effort, only 13 qso's 
          an hour.  I had hoped to do better on 80 and 40 but the noise killed 
          me.  Any suggestions on how to deal with run of the mill atmospheric 
          noise on a limited budget and 150 X 50 lot?  Dsp, Antenna Noise 
Canceler,
          EWE Antenna?
