       841 x 81= 136,  242     15.5 hrs
 
Interesting time on the radio.  First "serious" CW SS since 1995 and  
probably first ever SO2R effort. Made a few strategic mistakes (too much time  
early spent on 40m and too little time CQing on 20m in the first few hours). 
As  mentioned elsewhere, 80m was a disappointment. Did find out that the 4L 
40 does  play very well state side later in the evening. 
 
Missed NT (heard whispers of VE8EV working a KH6 but he didn't respond to  
the old go up a few khz and CQ in his direction trick..although a KL7 did 
come  back to the first CQ) and KP4. Realized later that no KP2 or KP4 spots 
were  making it through as DX spots were turned off :(
 
Enjoyed the "U" category. It was fun to point and click my way thru spots  
with 2nd radio..SO2R would be MUCH more difficult without the band map.  
Mega props to the unassisted ops who manage a sweep and big Q numbers.
 
Thanks to Tom for the use of the station and his usual FB hospitality..it  
is always a good time on the radio in Chesterland.
 
Hope to see everyone in CQ WW in a few weeks.
