The best part of the UHF Contest:  getting to drive home in the 
afternoon instead of at midnight!  Pretty average conditions from west 
central Wisconsin with no major enhancement noted.  Contacts recovered 
from the poor numbers of last year, and grids were down just slightly:

222    53    22
432    59    25
902    29    16
1.2    33    15
Total 174    78    55,244

The new rules were definitely a help;  I contacted several stations that 
I probably would not have found were it not for spotting. AC0RA/R would 
spot his arrival in a new grid and I could usually find and work him 
quickly (48 of a possible 52 contacts, missing on 902/1296 twice).  
Thanks to Wyatt and also Mel & Carol for helping to keep me busy, along 
with contacts from W0ZQ/R, N0EDV/R, KF8QL/R and AE0EE/R.  Caught NT0V on 
222 & 432 (423 miles), but got slightly better DX to K0TPP on 222 in 
EM48 (440mi) and K9MRI on 432 in EN70 (436mi).  Best on 902 & 1296 was 
Wyatt in EN51 at 268mi.  Ran with a few guys further out that I found on 
ON4KST, but no luck.

Thanks to everyone who got on!
