Comments:

I really like this contest.  A year ago, it was my first attempt at CW SO2R, so
it was nice to return to it this year, and see if I've learned anything from all
those CWTs! (At the very least, I've figured out some good ergonomics with the
logger windows on separate monitors and the two keyboards.)  

This year, I set as a goal beating latest year's score and Q total on every
band. I accomplished the latter, though it required milking 15m for all it was
worth. I beat last year's total Q count by almost 200. However, up until the
last hour or so, it didn't seem like I would beat the score, due to having five
fewer mults.  Luckily, two more came through, and I squeaked ahead of last year.
(However, if PE or NU was on, I never heard them. I worked NT, but only on 20m.
I don't know if they were ever spotted, as I was operating unassisted.)

I operated a few more hours than last year, but still took a three-hour nap from
0800z-1100z (lazy guy that I am.) 

There was a surprising amount of DX. Lowly-two-pointers or not, it's fun to work
GW and EI on 160 from California, as well as being called by Europeans on 20
well after their sundown and on 40 way before our's, not to mention JAs off the
back of the beam and S.A. off the side. And, VEs of course! 


Two humbly-offered suggestions to make the RACs even better: 

1) see if it's possible to activate all the mults

2) have a separate set of plaques for non-VEs (not just one)
