[Mldxcc] CQP09

Cherished colleagues,

CQP was MUCH, MUCH better than I expected.  The downer was that I never heard, 
nor saw spotted, ID.  I worked all of the traditionally tough ones in the first couple of 
hours, including VE8EV, bless his soul, who called me while I was running.  There 
were more SC and ND stations than I've ever heard.  I only got one UT, but ALL of 
the Canadian provinces were well represented (except VE8/VY1).  I kept hoping for 
ID to call me on Sunday afternoon, while I was running on 20m (I tried both modes) 
and I got several WA and OR stations.  I sent whiny CQ's pleading for ID.  A VE3 
called me and apologized for not being in Idaho.  [I haven't counted, but it seems like 
half of my QSO's were with VE3/VA3.]

Murphy stayed pretty much away, and I'm a happy ham.
