Comments:

Unfortunately, we didn't have the band openings of recent 
weeks for very long during the contest.  I did manage to find
a few west coast stations during a couple brief openings
on Sunday morning.  The XYL's birthday cut into my op time -
but I didn't seem to miss much.

Two-thirds of my Q/s were CW - I know K2UOP said they worked
a lot of people on CW, but I wish even more would go there.
It just seems like we have a lot of people "yelling" for
contacts on SSB, when a switch in mode would make it easier to
get a contact with little guys like me who don't have major
antenna setups.  Just my two cents.

Should we consider making CW QSO's worth more points as
is done in the ARRL 10 Meter contest?  
Hope to have better set up next time.
