Comments:

Interesting conditions as they decayed.  Should have gone for the straight 24
hours on time but I was too tired and had to sleep a while.  So I got to operate
40 meters with the wild auroral signals at the end of the contest.  Interesting
to see the effect of working a U or M class station on the run rate.  That got
the last 10 rate in CT above 75 a couple of times during the final half hour on
40 meters.  Unfortunately the run got cut short by S9 precipitation static. 
Apologies to the K6 station that got left hanging, just couldn't hear a thing
after 0226Z.

Fun contest as always.
