My first SWEEP!  But I had the DX Cluster and the County Hunters' mIRC channel
helping me.  I think that except for Yolo, I would have worked all the rest
without help.

Once again, "I wasn't going to operate this contest" but sat down for a few
minutes shortly after 1700z, and 3 hours later, I had 53 counties in the log! 
So then I became compelled to look for the remaining 5 (SHAS, RIVE, NAPA, YOLO,
STAN) on and off Saturday night into Sunday.

I wanted to watch the New England Patriots play football Sunday morning, so I
set up the laptop on the couch next to me.  As I was setting up, about 10
minutes before game time, W6OT was spotted in Yolo, so I ran downstairs and got
that one.  About an hour later, K6CSL was spotted in Stanislaus, so I paused the
game and had a marginal QSO.  After returning to the game, about 5 minutes
later, W6XK was spotted in Stanislaus with a booming signal.  I worked him
later on phone.

I was especially happy to work the last two CA counties I needed on 40 meters -
Napa and Sierra - Saturday night.

Here's a table showing the number of unique callsigns worked in each county.

Thanks to all the fixed, portable and mobile activity that makes this contest
so successful.  My "cloud warmer" must have just the right take-off angle for
W6, as almost all signals were S9 or better (some were 20 to 35 over S9!)
