Comments:

Pulled an all-nighter for the first time in awhile as the band was amazing.  Not
the best, but with QSB and changing propagation things were always interesting. 
Decided to go for the ALL S&P Award as that is what I enjoy most and continuous
trolling did some good.  I think I worked KL7RA, TF3M, and 3 KH6 stations as
they were just being heard (barely a whisper in VE3 land) as I had all the time
to work with them to hear my 100W and no competition and QRM.  I guess few
people use spots in the Stew..glad for that!  Also some EU DX was nice to work.
 Heard one JA at sunrise (my reason for staying in the chair after the band was
mostly dupes), but no go.  Having the beverages sure made it easy on the ears
because a snow storm had the static loud on the doublet TX/RX antenna.  Best DX
was CE1/K7CA, with E77DX and LY7M also a close seconds.

So how many of you wasted time calling KE at UI on 1.815 who had his CQ machine
going all night long with about 3 seconds between calls.  Never heard him make
a Q despite many strong stations calling! I hope he hadn't died at the key!

This is a great contest with excellent OPs.  Only heard tuner uppers twice on
top of DX and many times folks allowed Qs to be made instead of constant
calling...just like the old days.

Thanks for all the Qs and thanks to Boring ARC for running such a great Top
Band DX Challenge!
