Comments:

All time high score in the contest for me. As usual it is difficult for 
me to
run on the high bands with my simple wire antennas. So, I've focused on
improving my S&P techniques to maintain good rates. This contest I added in
band skimmers with the SDC software that integrates very well with my 
Flex-6600
and N1MM. This allowed me to better show only spots that my skimmer 
heard along
with a couple local/regional cluster skimmers. I spent way less time sorting
out spots for stations that my station couldn't hear. The other area of 
focus
was to spend more effort on chasing prefixes. Maximizing my multipliers 
was key
to breaking the 2M point barrier. Next year I need to focus a bit more on
getting my points/Q a bit higher. I could have gotten up a little 
earlier both
mornings to take advantage of less state side QRM as the sun rises on 
the east
coast when the high bands are generally quieter. This contest is one of my
favorites and this year operating conditions were good and everything was
working well in the shack. I really need to come up with a gain antenna 
to EU
for the high bands that will fit my limited space.

73,
Eric - NR4O
