Comments:  Nice contest and most operators kept the contacts terse for 
quick exchanges.  On 20-meters I tried using the Radio's combination 
Panadapter/Waterfall ("Panfall") display as opposed to the waterfall on 
fldigi and found found this to be a better when "Pouncing".  On 
20-meters I kept the power to 50-watts or less because my SWR is high in 
the digital portion (and CW) part of the band.  On 40 I just ran 
contacts from one frequency using 80-watts.  When "Running" I found 
using the best option was the waterfall on fldigi.

Pile-ups are strange on RTTY and took me a while to recognize what was 
happening.   It was nice working many Colorado Springs station.  
All-in-all, my second attempt at a digital contest went well, it allowed 
me to learn more about my radio as well as operate a mode that is mostly 
unfamiliar to me.
