Overall conditions this year appeared to be a bit below average.  Only 
mediocre 6M openings, but some good tropo to the east. Rover activity was 
way up, however, which made up for some of the poor conditions on Sat. 
afternoon.

The other major problem was wind. 40 MPH south winds kept knocking down my 
dish while trying to work W9SZ from the EN62 hill. They also cancelled my 
trip south to EN51 on I355. I wasn't ready to test my rover antennas at 95 
MPH wind speed!

This was still a fun contest, despite all these difficulties.

My score was down from past June contests, but that was mostly due to 
missing EN51 and being off air during Sat. evening. Preliminary score is 
shown below.
