Comments:

What a blast.   10m was marvelous.   Makes me wonder what it would have been
like if I had been contesting back in the early 90s, or during the peak of the
last cycle.   Couldn't find a good frequency for a [modest] station to call CQ
on until I got above 28.150.   I was surprised at how many ops answered my
CQs.

My 18 hours were spread out over the whole 48-hour period.   I operated
sporadically in 4-5 hour spurts.  Got my beauty rest both nights.   Spent
plenty of quality time both days with the family and enjoyed our belated
Thanksgiving feast.

I didn't maximize zones or countries worked -- it was all about having fun.   I
set up VE7CC to work with N1MM and was amazed at all of the data flowing in.  
Near end of the contest I saw an actual spot for VE7CC and worked him... it
seemed only fitting.

I sure had a helluva lot of fun!   Thanks to all of the DX ops [and the
DXpedition stations] for the good times!
