Comments:

Lots of fun in this one.  My first 10M contest, conditions were awesome.  I
almost never hit a doldrum of no new stations to work during the daylight hours,
and even made some surprise contacts after dark here when I checked in on Friday
evening.

I bit the bullet and put myself out there to call CQ on CW for the first time
ever, and felt like I was mostly successful despite mangling a few exchanges. 
Thanks to anyone who worked me at 13-15WPM and gave corrections/slowed down.  

My goal was to top 100k of Friday, then Saturday it became 150k, and Sunday
200k.  Final score recorded was 209,338.  Chasing the online scoreboard was a
blast and after going to bed in 50's Saturday night and waking to 68th after
sleeping in a bit, was able to climb back up into the top 50 during the last
half hour of the test.  XV1X and VR2XAN were nice surprise multipliers during
the final 7 (!) minutes of the test, as well as AL1G on Phone which gave me a
new mult in the final hour.
