Congrats, Mike, on a great effort.

I ended up with 320 contacts in just under 10 hours of operating, and will
post more details once I work with my log a bit and view my stats for each
band.

The NAQP contests continue to be up there among my favorites, during the
typical contest year, and I'm looking forward to the SSB event next
week-end.

The contest got off to a good start with a reasonable 10 meter opening, and
good conditions on 15. Working 20 and 40 was about like shooting fish in a
barrel, and 80 wasn't too bad, especially considering that we had some
thunder storms near my qth just before the contest began..

I finished with a total of 366 contacts, and 49,044 points. That's 107
contacts more than I made during the August session, and my best score yet
in this event.

I worked Lloyd on 80, and heard Tom, but since he and I were both in "hunt
and pounce" mode, we missed each other.

Other highlights for me were getting both Mississippi and Arkansas on
15 meters, and Louisiana on 20.

The phone NAQP is next Saturday, January 16.
