>     Hi all,
>     Most fun I've had contesting from home in a long time with this year's hardware additions (C3S at 52ft), and the HiZ4 array.
>     Fun to watch the action on http://www.contestonlinescore.com. I'm surprised at how few FRC'ers stay logged in though.
>      Only 32 out of our entire club.
>     YCCC had quite a few more. Fun to chase the usual suspects who have beaten me, 
>     but it was more like a horse race this time with shifting scores as the weekend wore on.
>     Great to hear many FRCers in the pileups (and occasionally beat a few).

>     Wow, what a blast! CW is my favorite mode. Incredible condx in general, except
>     for 160 for my QTH. The new (to me) HiZ4 RX array install was finished on Thu
>     and tested, it helped some on 160, but really did wonders on 80 and 40.
>     Incredible f/b and excellent forward gain in the direction pointed, with
>     excellent nulls.
>     It's  been many years since I had a yagi up, or an RX antenna. Both were
>     realized this year with the AB-577 military mast and HiZ4. I could easily hold a
>     frequency on 10,15,and 20 for CQing and had excellent runs on the high bands
>     both mornings. Runs on 40/80 were equally good for the time I spent there. 160
>     was very poor Fri night, but improved enough on Sat I was able to work a few EU
>     double mults.
> 
>     This is an all-time high score for me from home. Also a new personal multiplier
>     record, with combined zones/countries finishing at 620 in the log. A few more
>     mults on 10m and 40m, and I would have made DXCC on 4 bands, and 80m was only 21
>     mults behind at 79.
>     Every band was productive, and I'm very pleased with the results of my small
>     antenna farm. 
>     36 hours was spent in the chair out of 48. Only took a 2hr nap the first night,
>     but had to sleep more the 2nd night.

>     Great to see so much activity on CW! Thanks to all for the QSOs, and great to
