Another fun contest!  Was excited by the Saturday afternoon and evening
performance which was a personal best.  But Sunday just came apart at the
seams.  Never could get anthing going.  Everything just seemed harder than it
should.  I chased VE4VV and VE4XT for what seemed like hours for the sweep. 
(The pileup on Sunday afternoon on VE4VV sounded like a pileup for 
Scarbourough Reef!!!)

Wound up working VE4VV my second from last QSO for the sweep.  Of course Murphy
visited - I lost my SO2R set-up early, got booted from the cluster a couple of
times, had a couple of software gotcha's (What's it doing to me now???) - but
that's all part of SS.  Good news was that all the "glitches" did not stop
anything productive - no lost radios or antennas - so life was good.

I really do need to finish my real automated SO2R setup and get it wrung out. 
Might have helped with the Sunday afternoon doldrums...
