Comments:

I missed the event in 2010, but activity this year seemed reduced compared to
2009.  In addition, with ten meters open at the start this year, there was
definitely a thinning-out effect as folks picked where to be.  So I thought
there was a bit less QRM than usual.  It will be interesting to see if
participant-log totals will be less than those of the past couple of years,
even though more bands were open.

As a high-school kid in 1961 or 1962, I bumped into my first Sweepstakes
contest by accident ("What's all this noise?") and was hooked for life.  I've
missed several along the way due to work commitments or antenna damage, but the
CW SS remains a high point on my calendar.  These days, I'm lucky to make the
Top 30 list, with the competition level so high-- but it's still a blast. 
Newer operators should understand that this is a very difficult contest, and
the Top Ten dudes really deserve our respect.

73,

Glenn K6NA
