Comments:

SSB contesting is very tedious for me.   I never enjoy SSB operation as much as
I enjoy CW/RTTY.   Nevertheless, I had fun.   It was nice to be able to put a
voice to many of the ops that I normally work on CW/RTTY.   Some of them
recognized my call from working me previously and took the extra time out for a
personal hello.

On Sunday I ran across a couple instances of piss-poor sportsmanship, the likes
of which I have never encountered previously.   Nothing directed at me, but I
was embarrassed to think that a person might associate me with one of these
idiots.

I didn't get a sweep, missing sections that I had no trouble with in SSCW and
picking up sections I couldn't find in SSCW.   Didn't work WTX, NE, SB or QC.
Had no problem getting VI, PR, NL, N(W)T.   KH7Y seemed to be ever present.   I
was really glad to hear all of the AK stations on the air.

I'm sure I sounded like garbage.   I used the audio EQ and speech processor,
only because it seems to help people to pull out my 8-call instead of mistaking
me for a 2/3 call.   But I'm surprised I didn't get lectured on spectral
purity!

Thanks to everyone that worked me, and especially to those who paused their
normal running and S&P routines to say hi.  Hope to hear you all in CQWW DX CW
next week!
