Thanks to George for letting me operate his station this
weekend.  Conditions were much improved over my last effort
in the SOSB/15 category in 2009.  My personal goal for the
weekend was to do better than the NR5M M/M team's 15 meter totals
from the CW DX contest two weekends ago.  I was pretty sure I
could do better than their QSO total, but I wasn't sure about
the multiplier total.  As it turns out, I matched their multiplier
total in the final hour of the contest.

The opening to Europe seemed to be a lot better on day two than it
was on day one.  On the second day, I got the rate meter up close
to 200 while working Europeans, but I never quite broke that
barrier.  The propagation was also better to northeast Europe and
Scandinavia on the second day, allowing me to pick up many new
multipliers.

Some common multipliers I missed included one big surprise: no
XE station made it into the log!  It seemed like there were hundreds
of Mexican call signs on phone in the ARRL 10 Meter Contest, but
I never heard one in this contest.  I also missed out on 6Y, BV,
CP, D4, HC, UA2, VR2, ZS, and a few others.

After dupes and W/VE calls, it looks like my raw QSO total came
out to 1400 exactly.  I could not have planned that if I had tried.

I had a lot of fun.
