There is no meters like 80 meters for this contest with another year of
bottom of the cycle propagation.  20 never really got going for me and
my hopes for anything on 15 and 10 were wasted.  
My worst out of the gate hour in 4 years.  I didn't get one SSB QSO to
move to CW though I did get KC8YEJ to move at least QRB and make my
single contacts on 15 and 10.
Working N8M and seeing that he was ahead always gets me to bear down.  I
have a Sweepstakes mentality where I focus on rate and let the mults
come.  Looks like I need to work on my mult moving as I got smoked on
multipliers.  K2KW really kicked sand in my face by coming to Michigan
and beating me with low power.  
All in all I still had a lot of fun.  I really want to be able to do
this contest when all the bands come into play.  75M didn't leave a bad
taste in my mouth though I did run into some QRM from somebody on 40M.
It was great to see all the activity from the Blossomland guys in
Berrien County.  In the QSO distribution in my log they were tied with
Oakland county and I only had more QSOs with Washtenaw and Wayne
counties.  Go BARA!
