Contests highlights included:
    Working K9CT (EN50) on six bands (first time I ever worked the grid on 222, 432, 902 & 1296)
    Working N0PB (EM39) on 6, 2 & 432 near the end of the contest.
    Working W9FZ in as many grids as I did!

Contest lowlights:
    Equipment problems on 432 and 902
    Completely missing K2DRH and K0CP/R
    Missing N9TTX/R in all but two grids
  


Overall the contest was about average for me for a September contest.  I probably could have done better, but for the amount of time I had to spend operating, I guess I can't complain.  Saturday was my wedding anniversary, so I had to take the evening off to take my wife out for dinner.  Sunday there were a lot of distractions.

A big thanks to W9FZ/R, KC0IYT/R and WA0VPJ/R.  The three of you accounted for quite a few of my QSOs and Grids.  I'm sorry my schedule didn't allow me to work you in more grids, but I appreciate those that I did get.  

Hopefully I can get all of my equipment problems solved by January and maybe I can get my 2304 amp completed so I can get that band up and running.  I have lots of projects - just no time to get at them.
