 Soapbox Comments
 ________________

        This has always been my favorite contest! As time
went on during the contest I thought to myself that there
would not be many sweeps this year. I never heard an NL
station. I was CQ'ing on 80 for quite a while hoping one
would call me. I worked more than 1 station in all sections
except MB (thanks VE4GV) but no NL. 
        I spent a lot of time on 20M because I "felt loud"
on that band. The switchbox for the 80m 4-square was not
working so struggled on that band. 
        At one point on Sunday I was thinking of taking a
long break and thought to myself that I really look forward
to this contest and I couldn't do it. Glad I didn't. This
score was a personal best. Must be getting better with
age.  :-)
