Comments:

Thanks to Jerry WB9Z for allowing me to operate from his fantastic station in
Crescent City Illinois.   After over 25 years of NON Contesting as single
op..it was..well mindboggling.  I was licensed in 1976..won 9th call area CW
single op IARU RadioSport in 1978.  Done many multi's in the 80's and 90's. 
Then pretty quiet till I returned to 9 land in 2006.  Have known Jerry since
1976 and we have mutual interests in Ham Radio.  He invited me to op his
station so of course I jumped at the opportunity.  

Rust is hard to remove and for the first 2-3 hours I felt like a kindergarten
kid in a Doctorate class in college.  NOT a good feeling.  LOL   After a few
hours some of the rust was off and I got into it better.  Am looking forward to
the next one.  Congrats to the really great participation for SMC and congrats
to the top scores I have seen  so far.  W9RE, N9CK and K9CT.  Many others to
mention to include my old friend Don K9NR with a very good score 123K.  

Hope everyone had as much fun as I did and enjoyed the event.

Thanks to all who worked me and put up with the rusty ear I had for the first
few hours.

Had 1 MT2 mult and have no idea where to add it in so going to edit score down
based on the 734 x 180   132,120.
