Best SS score ever.  conditions were good - unfortunately, I was not good at
the beginning of the contest...  I spent too much time S&Ping in the first hour
and subsequently had a very low rate.  I had set a goal of more than 40Qs per
hour, figuring I could get to about 850-900 qs.  Had a goal of the sweep of
sections.  By the time I got too tired at 0800Z Sunday morning, I had 530 Qs in
the bag and all sections but NE.  I had chased spots for the mults I knew from
previous years had been an issue, but this year, multiple stations were on from
PAC, AK, DE, SD, ND, MB.  I only worked one NT - Many thanks to VY1EI who I
heard with the unruly pileup on Saturday afternoon and left him to it, only to
be called by him when I was CQing..  On Sunday, I was running on 40m and saw
the mult window in N1MM showed a mult on 20m, when I went to 20, there was
W0KT... thanks for the sweep.

Worked multiple stations in all other sections.  IL came out the winner with 42
stations and then OH with 35.  


Thanks for all the Qs, the patience with my fills and my occasional left foot
syndrome!  God help you when I try SO2R!!

CU in the CW leg
