Comments:
Started out with the intention of beating my score from last year (383Qs, 188
Mults, 210,936 score). I figured a safe number of Qs to do that would be
around 500, so that was my initial goal. I had 500 by 10AM Sunday Morning. (I
know you guys aren't impressed, but I'm a little guy with a limited station and
antennas). So I gave myself a new goal of 600Qs. After fighting the Sunday
afternoon Lid-o-Rama, I finally gave up at a little after 6:00 PM. I know I
still had another hour to go, but my ears were ringing from the tones and my
head is hurting from pounding it against the wall (darn lids...).
Still, I feel pretty good about my time, and my final score (over double last
year total and a nice improvement on number of Qs and Mults - not to mention
BIC time)...
