Comments:

This one started out not so good...
I had a meeting in Columbia, SC on Saturday afternoon that started at 1pm.
I left a little early and made the usual 4 hour trip back to Macon in a
little over 3 hours....making contact nr1 at 0002 UTC - taking 3 of my 6
hours off a the beginning..
I thought after it was over last night that maybe I had forgot to change
bands as far more Q's on 80 meters than any other band...what's going on
here? I found it easy to find spots to sit down on 80 not so difficult until
one of the "pig farmer" nets, Winnebego net, old poots net, etc started up
and assumed I would leave...bad thing about LP is you don't have any choice.
They just talk over you 'til you give up and get gone..40m is like it always
is....too much junk and almost worthless on LP...no...almost worthless 
period.
Looking at some of the LP scores, I note that K1BX's score looks a lot like
mine with most of the contacts on 80m. Several others show the same thing.
I had 78 of the mults fairly early on Sunday - needing only VE7 and KL7.
Yeah...I know - VE7? But worked a VA7 on 15m Sunday afternoon and AL2F and
KL7AIR both called me within a short period of time beaming NW....Also worked
another KL7 before the end of the day on 15m and a bunch of VE/VA7'S....
Got VY1JA fairly early and later VY1MB...thanks to them for being there.
Lots of fun....I like SSB Contest a little more than I have in the past.
73, Paul, N4PN
