Comments:
I started this contest as part time only but with one major goal: to get a Clean
Sweep. Last year I thought I did, but one of the QSO's apparently didn't count,
so I was one short.
This time I made my clean sweep (again) at about QSO #650 or so...SD. But I set
another goal, that was to make 1000 QSO's, which I also did...just as dinner was
on the table and the XYL waiting for me! After dinner I was able to come back a
make a few more contacts. Best ever score for SS for me.
The bands were pretty good, better than the flux indicated, so I was able to
use ten meters as well, but it was late in the contest and there weren't that
many contacts to be made. 15 meters gave me the most sections, but I did start
on that band. I stayed up pretty late on 40 and made alot of Q's.
Funny thing, after I worked all 83 sections, the software still told me I had
Canadian mults to work. I guess some small glitch that needs to be fixed.
