Don't normally operate the SSB portion of this contest, but I missed the CW and thought that since I had the time around soccer matches that I'd throw my call into the mix.

With a new QTH and the antenna farm OUTSIDE -- 75/80 meter dipole, 40 meter vee -- it was A PLEASURE being able to hold a frequency for 35 to 40 minutes and working a relatively good number of Q's.  Was still "tuning & pouncing" on the missing multipliers.  Think I had a pipeline to MDC section -- must have worked 25 or so over the course of my operation.

Unfortunately, having problems with the rig on 20, so my score sadly missed the west coast multipliers.  Think it's time for the TS-2000 to have a little R & R and get tweaked back to factory specs -- and take care of the problem on 20.  Have the TS-930S to fall back on in the interim.

Looking forward to next year.
