Comments: SS - the contest we love to to hate.  No exception this year.
Many  participants, when asked for a repeat of, for example, Ck re-send the
entire exchange. So these ops don't have any hand-sending capability. I
won't even comment on behavior in the pile-ups. So I decided to pull the
plug at noon Sunday. . . . but then remembered, you always want to quit
Sweepstakes early Sunday, so soldiered on to finish 21.5 hours.

Down 6 multipliers at noon Sunday  (Wtx, Me, Wy, PR, VI and Labrador)..
then, on successive QSO's, worked WY and WTX.  Much later in the afternoon,
a weak W2 called in and, lo and behold, gave Me for his QTH.  He was weak,
almost in the noise, so had to work with him to verify all elements. . .
fortunately a competent and cooperative op. He gave me number in the 20's.

Just trying to accumulate a few points for MLDXCC in the Mediium Club
category.
