Comments:

Was only able to operate the first hour of the contest but managed to work 100
Q's. Returned two hours later  and operated another two hours but had half the
rate and only logged another 100 in this second session. Returned at sunset
Saturday for 1.5 hours and then later put in my longest session until about
2:30 am Sunday. In all about 9 hours which resulted in the most Q's I've ever
logged in this contest in the last 3 years. 

Worked very little DX since I was on low power. Heard a handful and was tempted
to turn on the amplifier and change my category. Only worked 4 of the 10
California sections. Didn't get up at sunrise to try to work Hawaii. Didn't
expect or attempt a sweep so why did I run unlimited (assisted)? It wasn't a
competitive effort, in fact I didn't intend to put this much time into it but I
tend to get sucked in as the Q's accumulate.

Next to SS CW and Field Day, this is one of my favorite contests. Great
fast-paced action. Thanks for the Q's.

73, Tom
