Comments:

What great fun these NAQP runs are!!!  I wish I could have done better, but had
multiple interruptions.

First, a bottle of carbonated water exploded all over my computer, desk, keyer,
paddle, and paperwork during a big run on 20 meters when my rate was >100. 
So, I had to shut down completely and clean all that stuff up, then make sure I
left no sticky residue behind.

Next, I had to stop and help take care of my wife.  About 1.5 weeks ago, she
fell hard on her way to the bathroom and broke her right shoulder.  Her right
arm is still purple and blue...starting to get that weird yellow color where
some of the bruising has subsided.  Still on pain meds and Ibuprofen, plus
muscle relaxers at night.  The orthopedist told her she also tore rotator cuff
muscles, but they have to do x-rays every two weeks until healing reaches the
point that they know what to do next.  Poor thing.  
Kathy and I started 'going together' when she was in 6th grade and I was in 9th
-- April 20, 1963.  I'm now 70 and she's 66, so we're no young bucks, even
though I feel like I'm 28 in my mind.  Still tons of energy here.
But, when she needs me to help her, there is NO WAY I'm staying on this radio. 
Nope, I jump up in the middle of a QSO, if necessary, and take care of my best
friend.

I suppose some of you are rolling your eyes and thinking that this is all TMI. 
But, in spite of these interruptions, I beat my Winter CW NAQP score...and that
suits me.

'Twas fantastic working so very many of my CWOps friends!

Best of luck to everyone!
