Comments:

Had a reasonable start but totally lost it in the 3rd and 4th hours of this
contest.  After that, for the next 5 hours, 40M really made it all look
worthwhile again with something like 100 q's per hour 

It's all but impossible to come all the way back against great ops like N9RV,
N2IC, N0NI and N5RZ - but in the end I would have to say I was pleased to have
at least made this look respectable.

I never tuned so hard for "anything that moved" to keep the rate up all day
long on Sunday but it was painful and frustrating work to do for 13 hours
straight.  After the  morning break, it looked like 1500 qso's might just have
been possible but I needed to average something like 45 qso's per hour all day
long in order to do that and I only managed something like 42 or so.

Congrats to the boys who really know how to do this contest - I haven't a clue
really what to do in the SS - but it is fun trying to "run" with the BIG DOGS
from so far away up here.
