What a great time! 

This is the first year I'm running without a triband yagi at 45 feet -- went from heavy metal to stealth.  Ran this one with 100 watts and a fan dipole in the attic of our ranch style home in an over 55 community.  For all those who DON'T remember me, my signal was probably not very strong in relation to the other stations (LOL).  My station is the proverbial elephant -- great ears, but nobody hears me.

Did manage to break a few of the awesome pileups.  Was surprised to see how far up the band there was CW activity.

To those who took the time and dug me out of the noise' a heartfelt TKS, OM! 

As usual, lost a good portion of prime operating time her in NJ at a work training event Saturday during the morning and a going away party for my youngest son, who entered the Marine Corps on December 12, in the afternoon.  Thank goodness I didn't have indoor soccer matches to referee on Sunday, or my score would be considerably WORSE!

Looking forward to the DX contests and hopefully a better showing -- God and sunspots willing.
