[CQ-Contest] Toughest SS CW sections 2006

[Kjboasi at aol.com]

I missed MB, NWT and PAC.  I never heard any NWT stations, but heard the 
other two and couldn't get through.  I had never worked a QC station in a previous 
SS, but this year, I worked 6 of them, which is how many stations I worked in 
my own section (NLI).  Usually there's a lot more NLI's and fewer (zero) QC's 
in the log.  Also worked 2 ND stations, (missed it last year), 5 NNY's 
(usually only 1 or 2 in past years), 2 PR (usually only WP3R is there), and 1 each 
from ORG and SB.  What happened to SB?  Could have sworn there were more in 
previous years.  The biggest surprise was working so many NH and VT stations (13 
and 6 respectively).  Most common sections were VA (42 Q's), and MDC, IL, and 
EPA (33 Q's each).  

Also, as an aside to previous topics, I worked at least one station from each 
year (check) from 1946-2000 with no gaps.  The period 1955-68 had the highest 
totals.
