Hello, guys...

I have never had such an enjoyable time in an SS as I did in this one.  The
pileups contained real gents and ladies, and except for a few short periods,
the operating was pure pleasure.  I was up in the wee hours of the morning
tending a generator failure at a power plant 100 miles away.  The work cut
out the valuable first three hours of the contest.
I took time for QRPers, for talking beginners through the exchange, and even
took time to visit with the first journeyman electrician worked with as an
apprentice over 30 years ago.

Despite the delay, and taking the time for helping others, this is what
happened:

 Super band conditions.  Polite Pileups.  Fantastic Fun... and I missed
those
 important first three hours in the afternoon!  Is it an SOHP YT record.

If you were one of the many hundreds of good operators in there, thanks for
your patience and help.  I may not ever be able to win the SS from YT, but
no one had more fun in an SS than I did this year.  I think I won the trophy
for the happiest operator.
