Comments:

Had a good start, but 20M petered out too early and I was left with low dipoles
and a high noise level on 40/80M.  Signals, particularly on 80M, seemed to be
down as compared to the CW Sprint just a week ago; the bands were also much
noisier.  On 80M, more than one Midwest stations with S7 signals kept CQing as
I attempted to work them, so the noise level must have been high for everyone. 
I haven't done many SSB Sprints, but I seemed to run out of stations to work on
20/40, and there weren't a lot of stations on 80M that could hear me (FL was my
best DX on 80M).

Hourly Rates:
0000- 80
0100- 50
0200- 30

Missed and never heard CT, RI, Md, Id, Ut, WV, BC(!), Mar, QC, Sk, YT. Only DX

was KH6.  Got KL7RA on both 20/40.  Heard but missed Al, Ky, and Ab.

Nice to see everyone again.  Thanks for the fun.
