Comments:

My claimed 127 K this year is off from the 146 K I claimed 
in 2010 and 134 K in 2009. I got about the same number 
of QSOs on 40 m. this year as in 2009 and 2010, while on
80 m. I got only 57% and 58% as many Qs as in the last 
2 years, despite serious effort.: 80 m. propagation was 
only fair at best.    With more sunspots, 20 m.was more 
productive this year, and I found a few tens of Qs  and 
3 mults (AB, PAC, PR)  in a few easy minutes on 15 and 10 m.  
But, the better high-band totals were  not nearly enough 
to make up for the 80 meter deficit.  In hindsight I might 
possibly have done better to spend an hour or two on 
20 m. instead of 40 m. at the very start of the contest. 
Fatigue from minor surgery 4 weeks ago may have reduced
my score a bit, but my BIC time was only 1 hr .less than in '10.
One mult. short of a sweep: missed NEBRASKA!  Crazy. 
NT, PAC, AK, NL, WY, PR, EWA, DE, etc. NO PROBLEM!
