		Equipment: Icom 701
		Antenna: Tribander (atb34) at 45 feet
			Inverted Vee for 40 and 80
		
		I missed Alaska, Hawaii, YV and VE2 for clean sweep

		I worked W1WEF in Hawaii 30 minutes before the contest on
		20 meters and then never heard him again. What a shame.
		
		I experienced lots of static on 80 early in the contest.
		First 6 hours spent S & P and getting a headache from
		the static crashes.  Went to bed and got 6 hours of
		sleep (planned to get 4). Had only 165 Q's at that point.
		I got up at 4:00 a.m. and got on the air and mostly 
		ran, ran and ran for the rest of the day.  I was pretty
		happy with the results on Sunday.  I probably could have
		broke 700 if I had put in 2 more hours.
