Well the score is down from previous attempts.  My goal was to crack 5000,
which I did accomplish.
Single op low power:
Band	Points	Grids
6	23	5
2	89	17
432	58	8
902	4	1

Claimed score = 5394

without looking at prior attempts, I'd say my 432 score was improved (fixed
amp bugs, better preamp), while the 6m score was down plenty.

Thanks to W0AMT and KF0Q - the multiops can find the rovers who show up at
unpredictable times on unpredictable frequencies - this is one single-op
that sure likes being able to tune to a preset frequency at a preset time
and actually find you guys there!

Low points: people asking for driving directions on 144.200 and not QSY'ing.
Also when a couple locals go off frequency to ragchew about how the contest
is going for you, could you actually ID occasionally?  Every year I tune
into such a ragchew and wonder if I've actually worked you or not.  Chances
are very good I have, but every year I completely miss out on working
several locals.

High points: working into EM39 on 2M, getting callsigns (but not complete
exchange) on WSJT to the east coast on sporadic MS.
