Comments:

My apologies for all the requests for resends. Came down with tinnitis and what
seems like swimmers' ear and struggled with too many exchanges.

Aside from that, I think I spent too much time on the upper Bands and by the
time I got to 40M it had gone long. I missed a ton of close-in mults there. 80M
was good, but I saw I was running out of time, so I checked 160. It was doing
very well. Everywhere else, I had difficulty getting my rate up to 90, but I saw
the Rate Meter hit 174 for a while on 160! Unfortunately, I ran out of time and
wished I had come to the lower freqs much earlier. It's amazing how fast ten
hours goes by when you're having fun!!

Again, I have to say that participation from outside K & VE in the Contest is
severely lacking. Where are all the Carib and CA Stations? NA is a lot more
than US and Canada!
