man how do u guys do this?!?!

well this was my 2nd ssb sprint, and first one from a real station... so i 
learned a lot...... i guess when 40 gets slow i need to go back to 20, and when 
80 gets slow go back to 40 for a few q's...... i made like 4 band changes.... i 
just got on a band and stayed.. then moved down.... SOOOOOOOOO ive already 
learned a ton for next year :)  im pretty sure i can get 300 then, but i 
seriously dont know how u guys get 50+ mults... jeeez

anyways was my first time at NO9Zs, had a great time using Lynns big station.   
picked up the VP8 on 10ssb and 20ssb (1 call with 100 watts on 20 AMAZING!)  
worked a ton of 30 over russians on 20cw and ssb

over all a fun contest, another good learning experience..

congrats to KL9A at UQ for doing so good from such a small station, K9PG for 
being the man, and n6mj for beating me with QRO on 1 band and no 80... guess 
its nothing big, it is N6MJ afterall :)   and ralph k9zo for kickin my butt :)

equipment:
ft1000mp
al1200 (bout 1300w)
kt34xa at 100'
a4 at 80' (used it for 2 q's i think)
2el mono on 40 at 110'
80m sloping dipole to EU (the other 2 slopers were tuned to cw for arrl)
beverages... WOW!!!!! never used beverages before, lynn had 2 600ft ones NE and 
SW and a 800' beverages west... amazing

anyways thanks for the q;s  was a fun contest
