    Final Score = 1203788 points.

We all had a blast and shattered last year's score.  Were trying for a
1000 Q's and almost made it, finishing with a 97 Q hour.  Look out next
year.

>From the soapbox:

GIVE US YOUR CALL !!!!!

Please identify your station after EVERY qso.  This QRZ, QRZ, QRZ, QRZ
thing has gotten entirely out of hand.  It is obvious if you are running
stations that you are contesting.  FORGET QRZ, JUST SAY YOUR CALL.  I
find it very arrogant and counter-productive to continue to run stations
without identifying.  Here in the US, it is also against FCC rules.  You
must ID after every Q the way I read the rules.
>From here on, I will call any station who doesn't identify after every Q
if I am not sure whether I have worked him.  If it turns out to be a
dupe, too bad.  If you identify, you don't run that risk.  If everyone
would adopt this policy, it would cure the problem.  If you are one of
the offenders, wake up!

I just had to say this.  Not all of us are big gun stations who can run
the majority of the test and those who operate in this manner are
hurting the scores of the small stations and wasting our time.
