Comments:

Well, following in a long tradition of slow starts in Sweepstakes, I just
couldn't seem to get any decent runs going for the first few hours, and never
made up the lost opportunity.  I never really felt like things
"clicked"...There is always next year, though!  :-)

As an example, some "VY1..." called when I was running on 40 Saturday night. 
Excited, I spun the rotor dial - the wrong way!  By the time I got the beam
turned back around, the mysterious VY1 was gone.  Thanks for trying - I suspect
it was VY1JA.

I didn't find Jay until Sunday afternoon, when he was 20 over on the low end of
20 meters.  Got him on the second call at 22:51 - and the first one wasn't timed
well on the second radio.  Stacked monobanders are cool!  :-)  The last four
sections were UT, NL, DE, and NT.

Great activity.  At least two of everything except NT.

Thanks to John Evans again for letting me invade the "farm."  I had too many
antennas!  :-)  For some reason, I couldn't get the 80 meter CW inverted Vee
working.  I ended up using a 3-element yagi fixed on Europe.  It worked pretty
well, except for the Europeans who kept calling.  This reduced the QSO total on
40.

80 was nice and quiet until Sunday evening when 80 and 40 developed loud QRN.

Great fun as always.  Good conditions on the low bands, so I expect some great
scores.  Congratulations to K3MM for an incredible effort!
