[CQ-Contest] Sanctuary

[Jeff Clarke]

I sure would like to have that problem after having another mediocre SS 
score.  But I guess GA isn't that rare :(

BTW great participation in Sweepstakes by you guys in Canada this 
weekend! I counted 7 MAR stations and three VO1's in my log. The only 
Canadian sections that I didn't work more than one station were MB 
(VE4VT) and NT (VY1AAA). I can't recall that ever happening before.
