Comments:

I operated portable from a hilltop. I ran mostly 10 watts or less; I have an
amp
for 432 but it had problems. I know there's no QRP class for this contest
but I use what I have. No big amps for the other bands.

Conditions not great on 222 and 432 but seemed to get better the higher in
band. 3456 and 5760 saw really good conditions. There seemed to be fewer
stations on this year than there were last year; I don't know where they all
were. My score was down a bit from last year. But I had a lot more microwave
QSO's.

Weather wasn't too bad, the thunderstorms in the area missed me and I had
fun.

73, Zack W9SZ (sunburned and mosquito-bitten)
