Comments:

I haven't done SS either mode seriously in over 20years- now I remember why. 
Sunday is just a grind; rates are low, no mults to chase, just you and the F1
key.  The only thing that made this a good time was that it was CW.  

Last six mults worked (in order): ME, PR, RI, MB, NL, and ND.  Worked at least
2 in every section except NWT (tks VY1EI).  5 minutes after I worked my first
ND station, KE0A poached my run frequency and I let him have it in exchange for
the Q.  Hope it found it productive.

80M was quiet all weekend; many Q stations from the West Coast were worked on
both 80 and 40M.  20M never seemed to play well for me; perhaps the antennas
were too high, and I didn't use just the lower one enough.  It was also seemed
odd to still be working California on 40M at Noon local time.  Still, being a
CW contest, it was loads of fun.  Its still amazing to me how such weak signals
can slice thru the QRM and exchanges so quickly made, when phone wouldn't have a
chance.

Thanks to everyone for the Qs.  Great job by Randy K5ZD in breaking the 1400 Q
barrier from WMA.
