This was my second SSB sweepstakes. My last year as a rookie, hihi. I had a lot
of fun. I'm getting more experienced with handling pileups. I felt no need to
QSY when it got intense, I just toughed it out and called for sections. I
didn't search for sections until I was down to two remaining. I didn't get PR.
I heard him on 14340 but he sounded distant -- I knew he wouldn't hear me so I
went for points instead. A station from VI tried to get my attention during a
pileup by saying "Virgin Islands". Now that technique works.

Looking at some of the 3830 posts it seems that *alot* of contestants got their
sweep.

I hope to see many of you in two weeks at CQ WW DX CW.
