First semi-serious CQWW for me.  Having this contest fall on or near the 
Thanksgiving weekend has been difficult for me.  Missed first 5 hours due to 
family commitments, and took off last 1 hour 20 minutes due to minor family 
crisis.  However, I still was able to meet my goal of 1000 q's and 1 meg score.

Had 109 Q's on 15 during 1500z hour on Sunday.  A few others in the 80's.  Guess 
I missed some good 10m openings, especially to EU.  When I was on the band, 
mainly SA and Carib.  Did work some E/W and ZL there.  For a tribander and wire 
station, missing any 10m opening really hurts!

73,
