Comments:

Used the Motor City Radio Club's callsign this year. Hope I didn't mess up too
many people's demographic studies. 

Is this the bottom of the solar cycle? PAC sounded much better this year than
the last two. Worked one hour less than I did last year, made six fewer QSOs
than last year, but got four more sections than last year. Finally heard (and
worked) Alaskans, after not hearing them for the past few years. Only heard NT
as they were in S & P mode on 20 Meters. Also heard one SB station on 15 late
Sunday who couldn't hear me. Wasn't in the right spots at the right times for
these. 

Ten Meters seemed to be open during the week and was surprised to not hear
anyone on. It was nice to hear a small group of stations on 160. During last
year's Sweepstakes Phone contest, topband was a nice respite from the cacophony
of 75 and 40 Meters, providing a slow but steady stream of QSOs for a couple of
hours. 

My compliments to those who put on some fairly rare (to me at least) sections
on for a good amount of time. Lots of these "rare" sections called me while I
was CQing. 

Had fun with the Motor City Radio Club's early 20th century check (certainly
not mine!). Got a kick out of all of the "FB OT" comments. 

73, 
Mike, N8MR
