Comments:

Contest started out slowly.  I tried to operate with a serious SO2R mindset.  I
think that I have concluded that operating SO2R with LP is a real challenge. 
The benefit of SO2R is that you can pick off the second station with one or two
calls or that you won't need to give a fill.  It is difficult to accomplish
that with LP.  One pitfall of SS that I fell in to was that I spent too much
time chasing the last two sections, AK and YT.  [Thanks to KL7Y who called me
;^) and got VY1JA with one call]  

Lots of competition here in EMA and the Northeast division, which is good!  Saw
lots of SF which had been a problem for me in past years.  There were also lots
of other "rare" sections like SD and ND.  

SS is about RATE, which is not easy with LP.  I didn't achieve my goal of more
than 1000 QSO's...that will be for next year...can't wait!
