Soapbox:
Primarily a S&P effort, although there was some opportunity to run a bit on
Sunday; later in the session.  It was nice to see conditions in good to very
good shape for a change.  10m & 15m were terrific at the start of the contest
and carried on through the next two days. 20m was wall to wall most of the 
time.  Even from a city lot I managed 21 countries on 40m, so conditions on 
the low bands were much better than average, 80 even yielded 3 Caribbean 
countries for me... very unusual with only a low inverted V.

Thanks to all the DX folks, especially the smaller stations who worked on 
digging out my signal!
