Comments:

I want to thank N7MZW Chuck for being the WY. cowboy to rope us GMCC mavericks
into teams for this Jan NAQP SSB. Great work Chuck. Your the MAN...
 Started on 80 to pick up close in stuff from club members then went to both 40
and 10. I could hear the NCCC guys on 10mtrs but they couldn't hear me. From
there it is was the 15/20 rock and roll. My greatest enemy is not moving stuff
from band to band. I know better but when the run is going it seems to go out of
my mind. This cost me mults and qso's. Was rocking till 20 faded and then it
seemed that 20 just died. Did 2 breaks before 0000Z.40 was rocking till that 2nd
break and when I came back, pulling teeth time. My goal is 300+ Q's on 40 but
just couldn't generate the rate. When I hit 80/160 there is time where its
usually famine. No difference just wait on the bands. 80/160 with calling
midwest couldn't get thru the eastern guys. 2 more breaks and it was 80/160 with
a fill now and then on 40mtrs till the end. 
 I did at least get above 1K. Haven't done that in many years. 
Observations:
Tennessee guys were out in force.
MD/DC guys were out in force.
K6's didn't work much west coast till I got to 40
Had to bulldozer a spot on 160.
Great turn out from LOCAL ham club guys WCARC, KB0YNA Kerry, W7LAD Lou, WE0B
