Comments:

N8TR is usually the first stop on my annual SS  Single Op Multi Station 
tour, but
due to family scheduling issues this year  it was the final stop. As usual, 
the
last was the best. 

This was my  all time best six hour SS score. I missed only VY1. Twenty 
meters
was great -  working all over the country, from guys a hundred miles away in
Columbus to  KL7. Having over half of my QSOs on 20 is not normal for Ohio!

For the  contest only two sections - EWA and PAC - had single QSOs that had 
to
be  found as second radio QSOs.

I don't have numbers, but there sure were a  lot of my qsos with guys who 
have
been on the air for over 50  years.

SOMS remains the very best way to do CW SS!
