Comments:
Man, not even Skynyrd could over come the FL advantage, or ...
They had better Skynyrd than me, that's it! Maybe they even
played one Skynyrd CD on Saturday and a different one on Sunday,
and my interpretation of the rules prohibits using different
Skynyrd CDs during the same contest from the same station.
Other interesting notes:
- 2 long path CW Qs: VK8HA @ 1402Z on Saturday beaming NE
N7TE/DU7 @ 1427Z on Sunday beaming SE
Both called me! Also got called by LZ0A (South Shetland).
- Europe on both days. Man, did you hear UT0D? I worked him
on Sunday @ 1530Z above 28.500. Most Europeans were Martin
Luther weak, and he was a solid S7.
- Got WAS on CW, but missed DE on SSB. Actually tried to move
NY3C from CW to SSB, but we couldn't do it on SSB. Thanks to
all the mults that I asked to move from one mode to the other,
and you did it. All moves were successful except for NY3C.

- Here's the first 5 hours of rate. Based on
the rate sheets posted thus far looks like
I was the leader out of the gate, but I faded
after the first turn. BTW, I had some equip
problems during the 2nd hour, or it might
have been higher.
