Comments:

I usually QRP, but for maximum points for FRC decided to QRO instead.  I also
prefer CW to Phone, but as I can't operate the CW contest this year I opted for
Phone (and my XYL was away, so I could play!).  Friday evening seemed like I was
operating QRP, but conditions were still improving from the geomagnetic storm. 
Anyway, lots of S&P with decent rates for doing that.  Had some reasonable
runs as well once I found a frequency.

I think this is likely the highest score I've ever had.  Of course, I don't
ever remember putting in as much time with a contest like this before, either! 
BUTT IN CHAIR!  It was a rush seeing my score go over 1M!  I had a few
distractions and could have spent more time operating, so I know I could have
done better, though.  Still, I have no complaints, it was fun.
