Awesome score, Bill!
Didn't realize you were using a DE Zepp on 40.  Looks like is works!

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.
