WELL.  OVERALL CATEGORY RESULTS SINGLE OPERATOR THE LOW POWER CATEGORY HAD
A NEW CHAMPION THIS YEAR IN KB8U.  RUSS MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO HIS 6
METER SETUP BUT SAYS THE MAIN THING THAT PROPELLED HIM TO THE TOP SPOT WAS
THE GREAT PROPAGATION.  EN71 TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT SPOT TO UTILIZE THE
AURORA CONDITIONS AND THE 6 METER E SKIP.  EVEN IN THE LOW POWER CATEGORY
HE WAS ABLE TO WORK MANY AU QSOS ON 6, 2, AND 222 AND ADD ABOUT 30 GRIDS
DURING THE E SKIP OPENING.  RIGHT BEHIND KB8U WAS TOP GUN K2DRH.  BOB
CONTINUED HIS CONTESTING SUCCESS WITH A SCORE OF 171K.  NEXT WAS ANOTHER
REGULAR TOP SCORER, WB1GQR, WITH MITCH, W1SJ, AS THE OPERATOR.  MITCHS
PORTABLE LOCATION ON MT EQUINOX, VERMONT, ALLOWED HIM TO ENJOY THE
EXCELLENT PROPAGATION ENHANCEMENT THIS TIME.  WB2SIHS ANTENNA IMPROVEMENTS
PAID OFF HANDSOMELY WITH A 4TH PLACE FINISH FOLLOWED BY STEVE, W4SHG, WHO
MOVED UP A NOTCH FROM 2004 INTO 5TH POSITION.  SOLP DIVISION RECORDS WERE
SET BY KB8U, WB2SIH AND W4SHG IN THEIR EFFORTS.  N0VZJ JUST MISSED SETTING
