Comments:

Let me start out with the required "why I did not score what I should / could /
wanted to."   Due to the building of the new antenna farm my SixPak is not
wired in so NO SECOND RADIO.  I couldn't use the big amp due to shack
renovations SO ONLY RAN 600 WATTS.  My current antennas leave a bit to be
desired, especially the 40 mtr vertical delta.  NOTE THE 40 MTR Q COUNT.  I was
working out in the antenna field Saturday from 07:30 to 14:00 EDT and no
pre-contest nap so I was TIRED.  Time to stop with excuses but need one more.  
You can probably tell from the N1 call.... but hey - the PATRIOTS game was on
Sunday....and they WON!

OK, now the serious stuff.   Conditions seemed pretty good and there was lots
of activity.   I finally broke down and, as I was running in the "U" class
anyway, jumped from my run frequency to work VY1 (early in the contest at 22:36
UTC) and VO1 for the sweep (Sunday morning about 11:30 UTC).   As 40 mtrs was
VERY difficult for my QTH I went to 80 early on Saturday evening and was glad I
did.  As you can see from the band totals, 80 was my money band.  Not bad for
600 watts into an inverted-V withe the apex about 50' up.  It continued to
amaze me all weekend right up to the last Q.  My goal was to beat last year and
work 1000 Qs.  When I worked the 1000th Q - I quit.  Well, OK - I quit at
02:54.

This weekend work will continue in the antenna field and with lots of good
weather and no items on the 'honey do list' I just might have the 20 mtr and 40
mtr towers on-line for ARRL-SS.  That would also give me back Radio 2. I hope
so.  

One more comment.  I noticed many CK dates greater than 2000.  Some of those
OPS were working at slower CW rates.  EXCELLENT.  I always slowed down!  I hope
others did the same.  If everyone looks at their logs and specifically the CK
dates, the majority will be before 1970.  We are aging!  Mine is 1964.  New CW
OPS are needed.  They need some time to get their speed up.  Let's give them
the support and respect they deserve.  SLOW DOWN FOR THEM!!
