Comments:

I completely missed my opportunity at the 10m opening in the first hour of the
contest.  I always avoid 10m because of some interaction problems I'm having
with my 10m antenna these days.  I should have spent much more time there.

The new microHAM DOUBLE SIX switch (similar to Array Solutions SixPak) and all
new coax and control cables (recently installed by K1TO) all worked well, as
did the two K3s and the Elecraft P3 panadapter.  I had more rig flexibility
than ever before, but maybe I used the second radio TOO much for S&P, as my
rates after the first few hours never exceeded 100.

Rates out here were much better on the high bands than the low bands.  Taking
off time during daylight hours may have been a big mistake.

Congratulations to the big guns W6YI(N6MJ), N5KO(@W6NL), and NK7U(KL9A) for
outstanding West Coast efforts.
