    Final Score = 110880 points.

Once again my thanks to Ian, WA9PQN for driving me around his home state.  This year 24 counties and 618 miles from his door to door.

Picked up a Hustler antenna with the three resonator attachment that we guyed to the roof of the mini-van this year with a Hamstick in the front mount.  Had 75/40/15 on the Hustler and 20 during the day and 80m in the evening on the other.  Really should have checked 75m earlier than I did as there was lots of activity there early.  Some day I'll get it right.

Murphy visited in the middle of the contest when the TS-850 and the computer wouldn't communicate with each other.  Nuts, I've become so dependent on computer control that it really made things difficult (and not nearly as much fun).  I first noticed it when I moved a guy to SSB for the mult and the computer flagged it as a dupe.  

Conditions were improved this year over last but no where close to 2003 when we had close to 800 qso's.

Thanks to all who got on and worked us.  Look for W8UE and myself in the Indiana QSO party coming up in two weeks.

73...Jim, WT9U/m
