 50 Mhz  113 Q's  61 grids
144 Mhz   35 Q's  20 grids

Claimed Score: 14,823

Worked most of the NLRS guys in WI and MN.
( Sorry to hear that W0UC wasn't on due to storm damage at home )

Most interesting segments were:
- Tropo opening to the west on Saturday evening around sundown, worked
several Nebraska stations on both 6M and 2M.  Also worked more Iowa stations
than in any previous contest.
- 6M opening to coast for most of the day on Sunday
- Short-lived California opening mid-afternoon on Sunday

Only foreign DX was TI5KD, EK80, 2296 miles ( heard C02OJ and C6ANX, but
they couldn't hear me.)

Best Canada DX was VE1SKY, FN74, 1203 miles

Best US DX was AB6QM, CM88, 1763 miles

Worked Rovers east, west and north: N2SLN/R FN22, AB1GF/R FN33, N6ORB/R
CM87, and W9FZ/R EN45 & EN55 - Thanks for being out there!

I'm only running 100 watts and it is obvious that I need bigger antennas
and/or more power.  I could hear a lot of stations that couldn't hear me.
