Comments:

Wow!  Great conditions on 15M.  On Saturday I was the lead instructor for our
local radio club's Technician license class, so I was unable to operate most of
the day.  I ended up operating 8 hours less than last year, but had a
substantially better score due to the better conditions.

As an aside, I discovered in preparing for the Technician license class that
the new question pool for this license has two questions that relate directly
to contesting: 

T8C03:

What popular operting activity involves contacting as many stations as possible
during a secified period of time?
a.  Contesting
b.  Net operations
c.  Pubic service events
d.  Simulated emergency exercises

T8C04:

Which of the following is good procedure when contacting another station in a
radio contest?
a.  Be sure to sign only the last two letters of your call if there is a pileup
calling the station
b.  Work the station twice to be sure that you are in his log
c.  Send only the minimum information needed for proper identification and the
contest exchange
d.  All of these choices are correct

Someone did a good job in getting some contest related questions in this
question pool for beginning amateurs!
