What a great contest. In 2010, I had 13 QSO's. This year, I had 209 QSO's. My goal was to log 200 QSO's, an aggressive total based on my operating station. IMAX 2000 vertical at 35 ft, only 50 watts and phone operation. The conditions on Long Island were very good, with Europe in the morning, then west coast USA in the afternoon to early evening. Signals were 20/9, and sometimes it was hard to find a frequency to park and make contacts. I achieved my goal, but most importantly had fun and learned a few new contest operating procedures. My score in 2010 of 182 is a distant memory. 73  David
