Comments:

Band Conditions seemed very ordinary.  Signals were moderately good, but
I've heard better.   Made 95% of my contacts above 7.025 to see if I 
could work more Gen/Adv, but a preliminary scan of my log indicates most
of the calls belong to extras.    Something can always be said for
consistency, but I was hoping to better my effort last year by more than
19 contacts and 1 multiplier :)   Managed to work most of the states 
except ND, SD, MS, and WY.    Three of the four are traditionally hard,
but can't figure out how I can work RI four times and not one contact
from MS.   Enjoyed the contest and appreciate all the contacts.  See
you next year.
