Comments:

Fun time as always. I got pretty excited when 10M was open to the west coast. I
was pleased with the station this time around. Before the contest I was
debating if I should put a dipole up for 80 - but I just went with the existing
ground plane. I don't know if it cost me anything - I probably just didn't spend
enough time on 80. It was tough on 80 and 160 with the noise, but it did quiet
down some the last three hours. 40M was great from here, the rates were good
even late in the contest when the band was long. 

Late in the contest I realized I still needed NC on 15M. Thanks to K4QPL for moving there for me. Jim - you were loud here!
