In a rather casual operation I worked 76 sections.

Got three North Dakotas, two Alaskas, and VY1EI called me on 20 meters.  (thanks!)

The missing:
NL	VE5	NNY	**KANSAS**??!!

(and the last section I did work was **Missouri**??)

N4OGW was on and had over 400 Qs at 0230z Saturday night.  I worked two Nebraskas fairly close together around 0630, both with numbers in the mid-100s.
