Comments:
I didn't start the contest with any expectations of making it a serious effort.
I did, however, want to try and work a sweep, and that we managed to do. Our
last three mults were PAC, MS and SC. SC proved to be especially difficult to
nail. I heard AA4V in SC earlier on Sunday on 15 or 20m, but he was deluged
with a left coast pileup making it impossible to work him on backscatter.
Later, however, on Sunday evening, I was tuning across 75m, and K4MQG, who was
not in the contest, casually signed his call. I gave him a shout and, low and
behold, he was in SC. He had just come up on frequency to meet his son for a
sked, and he obliged me with the sweep.

OJ!
There has been a lot of chatter on the reflector about guys working in the 75m
"dx window". We were guilty, although at the time I didn't realize I was on
such scacred ground, and was promptly run off by a policeman. It was easier to
move than argue about it!
