As an A&P Mechanic for the last 24 years and having completed too many 100 hr and annual inspections to remember my question is; Can I sign off my yearly (conditional) inspection on the experimental that I built and operate ?

Yes, any A&P mechanic can sign off the annual condition inspection for any experimental homebuilt aircraft. Even if you were not an A&P you could apply for a Repairman's Certificate that would allow you to sign off condition inspections for a specific aircraft that you built.
Oh, and please note that the inspection may be "conditional" on a few things it is actually a "condition inspection."

Uhh - yeah!
I believe you have your choice of ways to do it 
As the builder, you can get your Repairman certificate for that plane, OR you can just sign if off as an A&P.
Getting your repairman certificate may seem like overkill, but then again I think it would allow you to do the condition inspection on your plane even if you managed to lose your A&P certification

IA?
Craig, do you have an IA, or a repairman's certificate as the builder of this plane?

I don't believe an IA is necessary. An A&P can sign off the condition inspection, or the builder with a repairman certificate.

When I applied for the repairman certificate at the Fort Worth FISDO the inspector wanted to know why I wanted the certificate since I had my A&P and did not need it to sign off the condition inspection. He kept my paperwork and to this date, five years later, I have not received my repairman certificate or a letter denying it. So, yes you can sign off your own condition inspection...

I haven't needed to get an IA while working in the capacity of QA Manager or Chief Inspector under Repair Station FAR's.

BTW
BTW, the rules are different for LSA aircraft, particularaly S-LSA. In many cases an A&P can not perform work on an LSA plane. It may require a LSA Repairman certificate.
And Rotax doesn't allow you to work on their engines unless you have received proper Rotax training.
These rules don't apply to E-AB aircraft that meet the LSA specs.
Very Confusing, and hoping a DAR will step in here and set me straight!! 
OTOH, some S-LSA operating limitations (manual) state that an A&P can work on the airframe.
