                I missed Alaska, Hawaii, YV and VE2 for clean sweep

                I worked W1WEF in Hawaii 30 minutes before the contest on
                20 meters and then never heard him again. What a shame.
                
                I experienced lots of static on 80 early in the contest.
                First 6 hours spent S & P and getting a headache from
                the static crashes.  Went to bed and got 6 hours of
                sleep (planned to get 4). Had only 165 Q's at that point.
                I got up at 4:00 a.m. and got on the air and mostly 
                ran, ran and ran for the rest of the day.  I was pretty
                happy with the results on Sunday.  I probably could have
                broke 700 if I had put in 2 more hours.
