Casually operated the contest but was surprised at the openings on 10 and 15 meters. Most of my claimed score came from these two bands; I was running 100 watts into a ground mounted vertical. I had 25 radials mounted to the vertical using the DX Engineering mounting plate.

In all, I had 75 contacts, an all time high for me. Had I spent more time in the chair, I could have made 100 contacts. I am looking forward to making station improvements, new coax, and a higher antenna for future contest this year.

Yes, with a 100 watts it is possible to contact 100 countries in a weekend. I had at least 40 different countries logged just doing S & P.
