COMMENTS:

   After 25 years of CW SSing, I'm finally getting the idea on
how to get a running start. Averaged 100+ for the first 4 hours,
and felt like I was in a horse race the whole time. The 2nd
radio was good for 35 Q's, but I mainly used it to listen to
the competition to keep myself psyched. 

   Just barely got the clean sweep, with ONE VO1, ONE VE1, and
ONE VE5. VE5 really had me worried, but VE5SF found me at the end.
