I had one radio going, but with rates averaging over 100 on 10, 15, and 20 meters I wouldn't have had much time for a second radio except when progagation favored the next lower band.  I very much needed a second radio once I got on 80 meters however.
 
I did better than expected on 40M with a low beam, but 80 and 160 were as expected.  Hopefully, better antennas are coming soon.  Amazing, though, what a small tribander in the clear can do.
 
Idaho is worth at least 3db in domestic contests.  ARRL DX will be a very different story from here, hi...but I'll be in there!
 
I enjoyed working NC PVRCers including N4YDU, AA4NC, N4AF among others.
