Comments:

Finally made it through an entire CQ160 without an amp failure!  
Added bonus: all 7 beverages were and remained fully functional without the
need for any last-minute repairs in ice and dark. 

Highlight of the Contest:  Being called by IQ9UI early Sunday
morning after failing to crack his pileup hours earlier.

Thanks, callers, for your peristence.  With 7 directions, it can
take more than a few seconds to "find" you, moreso if your
callsign does not match your actual QTH.  So if you're loading up bedsprings 
or running QRP, throw out a few calls so I can get your bearing.

Kudos to the DX that found me running.  Attempting to break a pile-up
dominated by the guys on the coasts is fruitless.  If you can hear me call,
I can hear you.  Don't be afraid of S&P to find us.

And to the cluster-click guys with big amps and no ears:
May the LIDS of a thousand pile-ups infest
your next run frequency.  If you can't hear the DX, lay off the key already.

For the next newsletter, I have room for another feature article.  If anyone would like to write something, please let me know.  I'm happy to edit if you just want to scribble out something.
