Comments:

Not sure if the multiplier is correct.  Writelog was not counting DX, and it didn’t like VO1GO being NL.

Fun contest.  First real contest with the new station.  Did not get the new 20m beams connected, but had enough stuff to work people.  Spent most of my time trying to see what worked. Should have done more 20m SSB but preferred to stay on CW.

Really enjoyed using the new PGXL solid state amp!
