[3830] Sweepstakes 98 - SSB - VE5CPU

[VE5CPU]

Wow! Had hopes for decent conditions after two weekends of solar 
storms and bad conditions... this weekend paid off in spades!      

First ever clean sweep (took 9 years) and had it done by 19:090Z on 
Sunday with a call to WP3R for the last section.  Had hoped for 500 Q's 
from my city lot with 48' tower and blew that away with 900+ Qs.  
With 10, 15 and 20 open at the same time there was lots of room for 
little pistols to call CQ.

Thanks to all those that droped by and special thanks to all the part time 
operators who "drop by to hand out a few Qs".
