Comments:

This is by far my personal best for Sweepstakes full time at home. 
Usually I do 11 hours or so at home, then 12-13 hours somewhere else. 
Indeed, I'm not sure if I've ever done full time at home since moving 
here in 2006.

Last year, I went to bed with 594 Qs and a sweep.  This year, I went to 
bed with 680 Qs and needing VY1, which I worked early Sunday morning.

With the second tower added this summer and the wires added last year, I now
have separate antennas for every band, which has allowed me to get 
really serious with SO2R, and this is the first time I've ever felt I 
was actually making good use of it.  I was doing a bit Saturday night, 
but nearly all of Sunday was SO2R. I'm really liking the YCCC SO2R box.

I did much more preparation this time around, and was also trying to be 
far more disciplined about how I was working. All of the things the club 
has been doing to help us build our skills seem to be paying off. And 
for the first time in a while, nothing broke or went wrong -- no ice 
storms, no windstorms, no power failures, no rig failures. Only the 
brain QLFing once in a while.

73, Jim K9YC
