Comments:

It been quite a while since I did a full-time NAQP operation, and I could have
used some additional strategy thought before the contest. I did way more
S&P than I am prefer. I probably should have spent more time on 20. I
should have eaten more offtime during the daylight hours, as 80 and 160 were
still quite productive when I ran out of operating time at 0530Z. 

I wasted perhaps 10 minutes on 160 calling multipliers with my transmitter
locked onto my previous CQ frequency: DOH! I initially convinced myself that it
was my compromise antenna on 160 that was providing the frustration. (I got them
all first-call once I realized the problem). 

Where were West Virginia, Vermont, North Dakota, and Alberta?
