Comments:

Correcting for the 7 XE states I worked (i.e. counting XE as one mult.), my best

result in this contest since 2004, and much better than my pitiful scores of
48.1 K 
and 73.6 K in the sunspot-nadir years of '07 and '08.  In fact, near-identical

scores 3 years before and 3 years after the '07 minimum.  So, a few sunspots
are back.
I heard my first EU stations in this contest since working 2 in 2005.  Sat. AM
16 EU 
stations in 9 countries called me between 1428 and 1536 Z; 3 more EUs and one 
new EU country 1432-1458 Z Sun.  A lot of FL and TX stations via sporadic E.
Sun. 1635-1735 Z I found 10 new state and VE mults in the far west, I think via
F2. 
I looked for ZL but never heard one.  Four ZS stations called me.  Missed RI,
VT, AK,
MT, NV, and UT but worked 8 VE provinces, my best since 2002.
