This was fun!

For a "meager-CW-skills" ham like me, this was the kind of 
weekend we really enjoy.  I didn't meet my constant goal 
of 500Qs and 500K points, but I did come closer than ever.  
And as my antennas here in Maine favor the low bands, I 
don't even mind this low point between cycles 24 & 25.  
The evenings favored 40; during the day 20 was OK -- and 
really made me covet the tribander I need.

Some observations:
    *  I missed DXCC by 4 countries
    *  I had the best momentary rate ever:
          ~66 on 40M Sunday night around 2300
    *  Mostly C&P, some S&P
    *  I didn't add to my 160M DXCC totals -- D&%@!

And the Usual Complaints:
    *  High speed CW with key clicks - I wonder how many Qs these 
       speed-demons miss because guys like me can't copy them?  
       Has anyone ever done a study?
    *  Not sending their call for minutes -- I just move on.
       Same Question!
