Soapbox:
    My first clean sweep!  Stumbled upon HI, AK, and Yukon and got them with
    relative ease.  I desperately looked for SF for the sweep and almost lost
    out.  I couldn't find them, so I let them find me.  Running on 20min the
    waning moments of the opening to CA, I bagged two SF QSOs! Close call!
 
    The open-sleeve 80m dipole from July 95 QST kicks butt!
    My check and labels are on their way for the pin and MUG!
