    Final Score = 126540 points.



My plan to put 30 counties on the air was overly optomistic, all told this time was 26.  Guess the mapping software's defaults are more realistic than I thought.

About the same score as last year.  I've never had any luck making qso's on 80m but had made a last minute modification to the 75m hamstick adding another wire to the capacity hat making it an X instead of a straight line.  Didn't have a chance to check it out before hitting the road.  Was shocked when I finally put it up and could actually run stations.  Had I known it was going to work would have tried 80 hours earlier, nuts!

Lot's of fun once again.  My thanks to Ian, WA9PQN for driving the 600+ miles.  Used the TS850 this year and absolutely no RFI problems for a change.  TR Log did stop polling the radio late in the contest but I think this was a memory issue.

73...Jim, WT9U
