Comments:

What a super showing for this contest with minimal to no sunspots!  I managed to
stay in the chair for 22.5 hours, but in reality, the operating time was much
less.  This was a "contestus interruptus" with multiple phone calls and other
distractions during the time of operation.  The only way to avoid these
distractions is unplug the phone and lock the shack door!
I managed to get a sweep on contact number 616 (KY) and I was really concerned
that I wouldn't pull it off this year.  There were an inordinate number of MDC
and VA participants this year; are congratulations in order for the PVRC?  I
was surprised at the number of ND stations that were active...good show! 
Conversely, there were a few sections with only one representative in my log,
e.g., VY1, KY, NNY come to mind.
I usually participate in the high power category, but K7JA, Chip, was running
SOAB-HP at N6PEQ, about 4 miles and at 60 degrees (that means the beams he was
using were pointing directly at the back of my beam) from my QTH.  I thought
I'd be "smart" and go low power this time.  Silly me...N6MJ was in that class! 
Congratulations Danny on a winning score from ORG.  I look forward to sharing
Field Day operating with you again.  Maybe next year I'll join the Unlimited
Class?
There should be many very respectable scores submitted by the SCCC this
year...including N6MJ, K7JA, K6AM, K6LA, N6KI, K6LL among others.  We still
can't compete with the NCCC, but we can still KB from SoCal.
See you in the phone SS...I think I'll go back to high power and take my lumps
from the professionals that surround me here in the Southland ;>)
Equipment: Kenwood TS-950SD, Mosley TA-34XL (15/20), KLM 2 element (40),
Inverted Vee(80) and TR-log v6.79 on a 15 year old 486/66 DOS 5.0 computer!
Best regards from N6HC  Arnie
