Comments:

Decided to try first SP test with hi power, since bands have been miserable
this year.  In retrospect, probably could have bettered final score with 100
W.  Logged 1 point qso's after being called by and working YV and VP2M,
since they didn't know their grid squares.  Like to see rules and scheduling
revised to promote more contest activity.  A fun contest, and will do again
if I can work it into holiday schedule.
