Comments:

This was a contest of highlights. Got # 14 from KL7FAP @2313, my fastest sweep.
The #14 gives me a shot at the 1st to 58 Plaque I sponsor. Interestingly enough,
the 2nd to last mult was AZ and the 5th to last was Oregon!!

I don’t remember a single frequency fight, nor a single pig farmer on 75
phone.

And the seemingly 3 horse race for SOHP was a blast. I’m assuming the CQP County
sheet is correct in showing multi-ops, so stations listed as multis with higher
numbers aren’t in this race. It seems N6MJ wasn’t at W6KP (at least I never
heard Dan,) so he wasn’t in the race. Here is a list showing the intra QSO race
action from my point of view:

TIME	K6LA	N6ED	K6NA (K6LL, op)
	Ken	Craig	Dave

1632 	72		74
1654	114	137
1732	204	215			I’m catching up
2102	561	628			I’m falling behind
0104	1151		1167		I’m holding my own
0345	1385		1400		Still holding my own
0404	1416	1484			Haven’t lost more ground
0540	1585	1601			Did Craig take offtime?
1601    1615			          or did I do something right?
0618	1628		1650		80 gets real good and my 1st
					  offtime isn’t until 0755
					On at 1314, good 40/20 CW run
1426	1816		1798		Wow, only have 20 min off left
1449	1856	1836			Wow, no offtime left, I’m ahead
1514	1896	1875			Holding my own
1537	1929		1908		Holding my own
1628	2002		1970		HIGHLIGHT, Dave says “You’re 
					  getting me pissed!” I’ve never
					  beaten Dave head to head
1944	2299	2338			Craig doing his thing. Will it be
					  enough

One of the great things about CQP (and having a 2nd radio) is you can track the
other guys serial number in the exchange and see how you are doing. Assuming we
all had the sweep, as I listened to both Dave and Craig toward the end, I was
pulling away from Dave, but Craig was pulling away from me, up around 60 QSOs.
Traditionally, I get a lot more CW QSOs than Craig and about the same as Dave.
This year I got 145 more CW QSOs than last year for a total of 889. I’m hoping I
have more than 120 more CW QSOs than Craig to make up the difference in raw QSO
numbers and come out on top. But whatever the result, contesting doesn’t get
more fun than this.

Thanks to NCCC for a great party!

73, Ken, K6LA
