Comments:

Much more fun than I expected.   I just couldn't hang for 24 hours of operation.
  3 AM came and I wanted to sleep, and before you know it noon arrived.   Then I
had the overwhelming urge to hang out with family and partake of the great
dinner my cooked us all.

I exceeded my own goal as far as Qs, but I didn't get a clean sweep and, even
more importantly, I couldn't hang with the big guys for the full duration.  Had
I played for 24 hours I now realize 700+ was achievable [you were right, Hal]. 
Of course, my back feels better for having given it a break.

I expected more activity on 15m.   Either it's just not a common band for SS or
propagation wasn't real good.   I checked 10m a few times.... nothing heard.  
80m was definitely the meat and potato band for me.   For whatever reason I do
not spend a lot of time on 20/40 anyway.

I decided with about 1.5 hours left to go ahead and CQ on 80m, and I had quite
a number of takers.

Thanks to everyone who provided a contact.  Really great to work so many
MRRCers.    Can't wait until next year!
