i would have missed the sweep had i not run unlimited.  went to bed needing 4 sections - NT, BC, AK, and PAC.  had some things to attend to on Sunday afternoon and thought i missed my chance for PAC and AK since 15m was done.  saw VY1JA and VY1MB on 20, kept jumping between them until i worked MB.  then came NH6P and AL2F.  i was getting nervous that i hadn't worked BC yet and then saw VE7UQ pop up and worked him. 

i spent too much time trying to get NT (about an hour), but this was my first year getting the sweep and it was worth it.  the XYL was less than overjoyed with my sweep.  "all that work for a coffee mug, you don't even drink coffee..."
