COMMENTS:
  I'm sure glad Kelly, VE4XT, came out for Phone SS last weekend,
it spared my energy for this one! 1996 Q's and a sweep his first time
here. Too bad you have to be "DX" to win our "domestic" SS.

160M- No JA, No EU this year.
  80M- No EU on Friday, some EU/JA on Saturday, but way down
            from previous years. THE HIGHLIGHT of the whole contest
            was the Sunday morning LONG PATH opening exactly at
            my sunrise. RU1A, YL2SM, A45ZN, UN7CW, and a bunch
            of OH/SM in 15 minutes!!! Simply amazing !!!
  40M- Always frustrating.
  20/15/10M- The 10M EU opening lasted 1 hour each day, but I'll
            take it. I'd almost forgotten how much fun DX contesting can
            be, it makes me want to put up more antennas!
