Comments:

First ever sweep, so I am happy about that. Was hoping to break 100K points for
the first time, but not happy about so few Qs on 80 meters. Last year I had
nearly 400 Qs on 80 and finally left 80 at 3am EST with the band still full of
life. This year it was "quiet" by 1:15am. Not really quiet, actually, HORRIBLE
QRN(was there a solar storm??) with swooshy-sounds and lots of noise. Oh well.
But I ran out of guys to work so went to sleep. Sunday morning I took my son to
baseball practice then a lacrosse game in late afternoon. So had short stints on
my radio in the evening, but could never manage a run. 

It was fun, I don't think the SSB version of this will be quite so fun. I hate
SSB. Oh what I will do to help PVRC beat NCCC (again!).
