I manage to contact Hawaii, Mexico x 2, Japan and Costa Rica on 100w.
Not bad since it's my first contest (of any type!)
BTW, as of a few weeks ago, I have a Hustler 6BTV @ 20ft elevation so I'm getting so much more DX than ever before with wire antennas.
My noise floor has been cut in half as well.
PS. I heard the infamous 9A1A club station from Croatia. Check out QRZ.com - these guys have a crazy antenna set up! They were coming in S9+10db into WA state! I couldn't work them though.
