Comments:
Not exactly as planned but I'm happy with this score, which is one less raw 
Q than 2007 but 17 more mults and more points on four bands.  Due to an 
unexpected visitor in the first few minutes of the contest I was forced to 
take a half hour break, which messed up my plan to maximize time on the 
beam.  20m was more or less abandoned very early, which didn't fit in with 
that strategy either, and apparently 10m was open but never when I was 
listening, so somehow I missed that completely.  When did that happen? 
Later in the evening I thought I was done when either the logger (N3FJP) or 
my K-3 keyer wouldn't stop keying all of a sudden.  If not for the MP's 
built-in keyer, which was unaffected, I would have been on the straight key 
and probably icing my wrist right now.  I had some nice runs, with my all 
time best 60 minute rate from home, 77 Q's on 15m in the second hour, and 
for the dead bottom of the cycle I was not too far from my best ever NAQP 
score, which is very encouraging.  Didn't hear a lot of SCCC ops.  The only 
ones worked more than once were Randy W6SJ twice, and Arnie three times.
