 Soapbox:  The station performed very well. I think that this was one of 
           those years when it is geographically desireable to be in the 
           Northwest. 20 and 40 produced very nicely, but 15 surprised me
           on Sunday afternoon by consistently producing at 40+ per hour
           for several hours. This is a personal best for me, and 
           reconfirms my love for this contest. I can feel the call of the
           "2 radio" operation, as it would have been very useful most of
           Sunday while I was sitting on 15 knowing that 20 was hot.
           Managed to pick up the Sweep at about 16z, but was beginning to
           kick myself for not working KH6/W1WEF, who I heard just before the
           contest! Wyoming was a little scary too, but finally found one
           the 80 m pileup on NA7R handing it out. VE1GN delivered Mar early
           Sunday morning too. All in all, an excellent weekend.
