Comments:

Congrats to W2EG on the great showing!  Being on the East Coast certainly has
its advantages over us in the Midwest ... i.e.: about a hop or two advantage
into EU & AF and greater chances for not only those 6 pointers but more Q's
as well.  We, on the other hand, being pretty much in the middle of the USA and
NA have pretty good chances at more Q's ... but mostly of the one point
variety.  A few good shots going into JA are many times available ...  but this
year, that was not very good for me ... only one Q with JA in the first 24
hours.  A few more later on the second day, but not enough to make any kind of
a run.  Rich (W2EG) averaged almost 3.6 points/QSO while my average was 2.55/Q.
 Still, I had a great time and ran into many good friends and many great ops! 
Thanks to all for the Q's and for repeats because of storms in the area plus
seasonal band QRN.  I have no problem with "cut" numbers, however I
sometimes question their use during marginal conditions.  I suspect a few Code
Reading Machines have a bit of a problem, too!! <hi>  And with Auroral
Flutter, sending at 40 WPM is difficult to copy.  Yaesu FT-1000 MP @ 100W ---
