Comments:

Wow.  I had forgotten what it could be like near the peak of a solar cycle. 
With my usual 100W and a wire, and not very many hours to play, I just ignored
the points and multipliers and tried to work more countries/states/zones for
RTTY mode and also for 10M.  

10M was pretty amazing.  Worked a VK.  Next contact an EA.  Followed by a PY. 
All in a span of a minute or two.  Band was open all the way from Europe to
Australia.  CQing, got answers from lots of DX too.   All with just 100W and a
wire dipole, so you know the band was doing great.

Lots of great ops, lots of room with many bands simultaneously usable.

Can't wait for the California QSO Party next weekend -  look for K3FIV/6 for
(rare) MENDocino county!  CW and SSB.
