Comments:

Wow, talk about slogging through a mud pit.  I ended up with half the score I
had in LP last year...and the antennas WERE still in the air when I went and
checked.

I essentially had NO RUNS and even when I did, it was zero pointers.  I
actually stopped running when the zero pointers started so mostly S&P
during this one.  I sure wish the rules would give those at least a point to
help give the casual operator a little more entertainment so they like future
contesting.

I decided not to get killed in LP by N5AW so I switched to HP for this one but
when I heard N2IC, N5DX and K5TR doing a serious SOAB HP effort, I knew any
meaningful WRTC points were out the window.  ;-)   HP was painfel enough from
here but I can't imagine what this one was like in LP.

Thanks for the Qs.

Bob K5WA
