Or maybe to put it another way, the way to make SS Sundays relatively
productive and enjoyable is to have one radio running at all times and then
S&P like crazy, because there are people who only come on to call CQ, and
others who only come on to S&P. I didn't follow my own advice on Sunday
afternoon, and the score shows it.
Then there are all the cases of serendipitous missing each other that go
on. For example K7BG was my 1080; I was his 1175. I had been really
sweating MT until just shortly before because we'd obviously been on
different bands or CQing at the same times or somethin'.

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a =
momentary vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW =
version of both Sweepstakes and WAE. Sorry for the false euphoria, =
folks. Phone enthusiasts will now suspect me of being a closet CW =
elitist bent on world mode domination. Well, maybe :-)
I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug, =
but it was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste =
operations - better known as "My Fault!"
Bulletin...
1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.
Apologies to all!
