Wow!  Conditions wee phenominal.  My major strategic error was chasing sections 
early, thinking that the high bands might not be as good on Sunday.  With the 
exception of VE1 and VY1, I probably worked every other mult at least three 
times.  I had all but given up on Mar, until I heard a weak station identify 
that section.  I jumped right in on the other guy's run frequency and managed 
to get him, and fortunately the other station (whoever you are, THANK YOU) let 
me have the frequency in order to complete the QSO.

I think there is something of a sea change in this latest contest, with many of 
the older and younger part-time participants no longer with us.  I remember 
steady runs of casual participants on Sunday afternoons.  Now it is 
wall-to-wall CQs.  Lets hope we can generate more new ops for the future.

Great contest, as always!
