Comments:

Didn't realize I would wind up so close to the SOLP record or I would have spent
another hour or two on the air!  The raw score is 6K ahead of the current LP
record, but I have no doubt it won't survive the log check.

I haven't done a LP contest in 30 years.  HP is sooo much fun- strange, exotic
DX answers you.  Its not just a "Europe QSO Party". Almost 90% of my
LP Qs were with Europeans.  But I wanted to try something different, so I did,
and it was fun!  

Pregame goals were set- 3000 Qs (predicated on 75 Q/Hr for 40 hours), and 380
mults (went through the mult list, and figured I should be able to work that
many).  Both goals were exceeded, the mult one rather easily.  I was surprised
how relatively "easy" it was to break pileups, even LP.  It takes
different techniques than HP, which is something I'll have to remember when I
go back to HP.

As always, a big thanks to Greg W1KM for the use of his great station!  And
thanks to all the ops that contacted me.
