Comments:

This is becoming my favorite contest, even with my meager CW
skills!  (Assisted, of course.)  My goal was 384K points. 
Oh well...   I did hear (but did not complete) a VK6 in Z29,
which would have completed my WAZ.  

I did grab my 49th state for CW-WAS.

I have been improving my low HF fan dipole -- the center is
now up at 32', far better that it was (at 20') and with the
NW end at ~32' at least that half (of the 80-trap-40) is flat.
The SW end is still much too low as it goes into trees at about
10'; more work to be done. I'm not sure how much improvement
this will generate, but my 160/80/40 results were better than
any previous CQWWCW.  (But conditions were good as well.)

10m: Forget it, EXCEPT for my (and many others) K1TTT double mult!

15M: Didn't hear much. 

20M: Sunday morning was FUN
Had a stretch very close to 1/minute, S&P, best ever on CW.

Looking forward to ARRL 160 from my Maine QTH this weekend.
