Soapbox:  First time to break 1K Q's in a RTTY contest.  Overall, excellent 
conditions for the first day and very good conditions for the 
second.  Manage to beat last years effort by a small amount despite a 
slightly lower mult count.

It was interesting to start on 10, work the band until it softened, move to 
the next one and run it dry.  Each segment lasted over 2 hours each and by 
the end of the first 12 hours I had over 750 Q's in the log.  The second 
shift, of only 9 hours, had a lot more S&P as the crowd seems much lighter 
on the second run.  The DX turn out was OK, but a little on the light side 
on both days.

As always - THANKS! to all those I worked in the contest... look forward
to working you all in the next one.

73, Bart - VE5CPU
