Comments:

The final section could have been MARS rather that MAR for all it matters.  
VE9DX was barley audible on 10 and 15 meters from VA.  I went to 40 for the 
last 3 hours of the contest and called CQ hoping that a VE1/9 would give me a 
call to finish the sweep.  I had set a goal of 1000 Qs for this contest as I 
had never made it in previous SS CWs but just fell a few Qs short.  I also 
noticed my lack of practice before the contest.  I usually try to run a few 
hours of practice mode the week before the contest but I was too busy this 
time.  It showed with a larger number of fills being requested.  I had a good 
time and helped break in my brother's (W4RM) Alpha 99.  I worked flawlessly.  
Also has anyone found a good way to request a fill on the Prec?  This seemed to 
dumbfound some when I sent PR? or PREC? or even Pwr?
