Comments:

Was only able to operate contest on Saturday from the start to 0547z.  Had a lot
of fun with lots of decent hours on 40.  Almost wished I had planned on
operating full bore with the good start.  Missed AK and VY1 even turned my yagi
that way but no luck.  40 was probably the best I ever remember it.  

It would have been nice to have the additional space on 75 for this one guess
next time.

Leading zeros: This has been my pet peeve in the SS.  Stations saying " my
number is zero, zero, four. Depending on the check received I said something
very nice to the effect "no need for the leading zeros before number 4", and
added "sometimes it confuses things" especially if you repeat your number and I
hear 4, zero, zero".  Not sure I would take this time if I was serious.    It
was bad on CW but on SSB!  Exception-zone in CQWW because everyone is expecting
two digits, I know preaching to the choir, here.

I also congratulated stations with a recent check to try and welcome them to
amateur radio.
