Thanks to Jay, WX0B, for allowing me to use his station!  A great plus to use two radios.  TR says 108 second radio Q's were made.  Thanks to all of those who changed bands for me.  Never heard a VY0.  
 
Lots of European activity.  I wish the VE activity was greater.  I ran out of those to work and had extended periods running Europe and US.  20 meters was open to Northern Europe when I went to sleep at 0830z.  Worked exactly 600 VE stations, about 350 Europeans.  Over 200 from Ontario alone.  Seems like BC had about 130 or so.
 
Good to see good activity from VE1, VE2, VE4 and VE5.  Only heard two VY2's, but moved both of them around.  (Thanks esp to LI and SS).  Had a really hard time with VE9 on the low bands.  Special thanks to VE8RSD/QRP who called in on 15m for moving to 10m.  Still can't believe we were able to work.  
 
Sadly enough, never worked VY1 or VE8 on CW.  Good activity from both VY1 and VE8 toward the end.  Several had s9+ sigs.  Sorry to the VY1 tried to call on 40SSB, couldn't pick you out from under the AM'ers.  
 
Concentrated on moving every possible mult.  Probably made some people mad with my tenacity for doing so.  I've never worked 113 Mults in the contest.  Could've done better on 160m, but I worked everything I heard.  Sadly enough, I doubt I'll ever work 113 mults in the contest again.
          
See yall in the next one.  
 
73, Jason N5NU (Op)
