Comments:
BJ made his second outing (other than FD) to confound and confuse the
contesteratti. 10 and 15 were poor to middling here and the numbers
demonstrate it. After losing the 160m Perverted-L during a windstorm in the
CW event last weekend, it got re-hung, albeit in a more perverted form.
Nevertheless, it was good enough to to sang more Qs and mults than 10m
produced. What's wrong with this picture?

I made sure not to repeat my mistake from last weekend and went to 40
early enough to work lots of local mults and generate some good runs before
it went long. 20 was also quite profitable. 80 took a while, but eventually
caught fire. The rate meter stayed over 200 quite often and peaked at 240
on 20m. Nosebleed territory for this little pistol. Thankfully we didn't
have the lowband QRN from last weekend.

Always fun to work lots of familiar calls and (sometimes familiar) names.
Best team name for this contest goes to the SMC Red Solo Cup team. Worked
Red, Solo, and Cup during the contest for a sweep. Oh, also managed WAS for
K4FQU when K1SD from RI called during the last hour.

On to RTTY! Beat NCCC/SMC!
