Comments:

There must have been a 15 minute phenomenon in this contest.  Like others, my
first 15 minutes were great, with 28 QSOs.  I multiplied by 4 and thought --
great, maybe I can finally reach 300!  And then it took me 4 minutes to make my
next QSO and my dreams were shattered.  I ended up with hourly totals of 78, 41,
60, and 51.  Hour number 2 was particularly painful.  And the mults were
non-existent.  I just kept hearing the same people over and over -- and most of
them were from California.  If it wasn't for California I wouldn't have worked
anyone -- I worked 62 Californians with the next highest being Washington with
17.  Hopefully next weekend I can get some more mults!
However, like the bumper sticker that says something like the worst day fishing
is still great, I still found it one of the most enjoyable ways to spend 4 hours
possible.  I wish more of the sprinters who operate in the CW sprint would give
the SSB version a try -- I think they would like it as well.
