Spent most of the week getting up a new 20m wire EDZ yagi. Did not 
finish the switching until after the contest started and was just too 
bushed to do any contesting Friday night. The wire yagi worked very 
well as I was holding Q rates of 150 to 200 for several hours. The 
front end of my Omni 6 Plus was overloaded with strong signals on 
20m, so switched to my IC-781, which handled the environment with no 
problems. The filtering in the IC-781 is much sharper than in the 
Plus. The operator just ran out of gas for most of the weekend. 
Getting 'older'...???

Never heard so many 100 watters and QRP'ers before on 20m!
