Comments:

A excellent contest! I took advantage of being prime skip zone from IL to have
fun, which increased my interest after a 75 QSO run in 45 minutes on 40SSB,
which included occasional small pileups.

Most interesting "QSO" was in that 40 meter run: guy calls me, asks me
if I can hear him. I say sure, where are you located?. He says he just bought
the radio from a guy at a flea market. I said fine, what's your callsign? He
asks "what's a callsign?" I say you get one by taking an FCC test,
likely from a local club. He moans about the thought of having to do that. I say
"QRZ Contest" and move on.

FB mobile activity - I especially enjoyed working K0PC and KJ9C after lots of
QSOs with them last weekend when I was out on the roads of PA.

Some more 160 activity at the end would have been nice. One suggestion: the
county abbreviations are very non-intuitive and confusing. Maybe go to just the
first four letters, with exceptions for the (I think) three county pairs with
the same first four letters?
