Due to illiness in the family I was only able to operate about 6.5 hours near the beginning of the contest, but in that short time period I was really pleased to log 302 QSO's.  Total of 69 multipliers of which 6 were DX and a special thanks to CS2C and 4M1K for pulling me out of the pileups.

Band conditions appeared much better than as of late with nice signals from the West Coast and Caribbean.

As usual I was running my very old Kenwood TS-180s running 100 watts using a 68 foot based loaded TX vertical with 3 small pennant RX antennas.

Already looking forward to next years contest.
