My $.02:

First of all, congrats to the perennial Big
 Dogs:  K2DM, K2PS and W3US for their
 typically excellent entries....and anybody
 else I missed.

Had some problems with the station that
 turned out to be nothing more than a bad
 cable from the K4 to the KAT500.  Just too
 many other projects this weekend to spend
 more time on the air.

Antenna was an Ultimax DXTreme 53' model
 at between 20-25 feet depending on the wind.

But it played well...once I got the cable sorted
 out.  Europe, Africa and South Americans were
 plentiful...some Asians (UA9, TA)...but JAs and
 VKs were just not there for me.

Picked up three new countries:  TT, 9G and
 VP2E.  Got all excited with the 5Z4.  It was
 a mult, but not an ATNO from Fallen Downs,
 here in the scenic Village of Sanibel.

40 and 15 were the money bands for me...I missed
 the action on 10 Saturday.  20 was a noisy mess
 all weekend.

Did work a couple of QRP Stations from Europe on
 Sunday afternoon late...two were five watts and
 one was two watts.
