A new personal best!

Conditions were amazing.

A great discussion on the club's e-mail reflector convinced me I should try
running on 10m from my small station.  I tried.  After about a dozen calls I
was about to give up when the flood gates opened.  By the time the onslaught
slowed I had over 600,000 points.  A second run took me over 1 million just 20
hours into the contest.  Normally I do not see that until around 36 hours.  Two
more runs brought the score to about 2 million.  Search and Pounce (my normal
method) brought me the rest of the way.  

Being called by a VU2 during one of my runs (and as loud as the EUs):
priceless!  Breaking pileups with one call: priceless!  Having beam stuck to
the south for the last two hours: not so good.  Fortunately that will be a
relatively easy fix.

I now wish I had put up the 160m antenna.  It probably would have added another
100K  to the score.
