[RSM] sweepstakes

[Tom Haavisto]

Conditions were interesting.  I heard ND on 80, and I expected him to be
loud.  He was about an S5 and the pileup was huge.  I tried for a while and
gave up.  Never found another one. About an hour later I worked Ed, and he
was loud.  Seems he had been trying to get MY attention without any luck...

Worked one KP2 that I found on the cluster and a second one called me a
while later.  Never found PR, but I see a few folks made the sweep.

Worked 3 GTA stations - the same number of ONN stations I worked!  ONE and
ONS seemed well represented.
