ARRL DX Contest

The ARRL DX Contest is over. Over the weekend, I gathered 135 individual QSOs from 92 different stations. Considering that I don't have much of a station: just a barefoot FT-897D and a G5RV, I don't think that's a bad tally. This morning, I heard two Australian stations, but I just didn't have enough to get back to them (although I did hear Jere, KT4ZB get one of them). One of the stations I worked this weekend, PJ2T, I worked on 5 bands; luckily 10 Meters came open late in the evening a couple of hours before the contest ended. My favorite contact from the contest was KH7X in Hawaii (my birthplace!) on 80 Meters; that's the longest distance contact I have on 80 Meters.
