Comments:   Missed the clean sweep yet again!  Spent 12 hours on Sunday
looking for Newfoundland/Labrador without success!   Where was VO?   To all
who worked me, many thanks!   In general, I enjoyed this contest and was
thrilled to work some very competent and courteous CW ops.  Only 3 ops tried
to steal my frequency and would not QSY when I ask them to.  I wonder why so
few call QRL? before CQ'ing.  It definitely is a trend that seems to be
increasing to the detriment of contesters and operators everywhere.   CU all
in the SSB section - I will be operating multi-single with K2DO using her call
sign!   Please work us if you hear us!  Thanks and 73!
