Comments:

I finished about 50 QSO's behind my personal best last year of 507 QSO's.
I did manage to break personal bests for 40 and 80 meters this year.
15 just didn't have the spectacular opening we had last year.

I was disappointed by the lack of DX in this contest.  Tnx again to Ed W0YK
for putting P49X on the air.

The 2 block rule for off times impacts me hard with my caregiving duties to
my wife.  There is no way I can get even 20 hours of operating time in.

The highlight of the contest was working WAS to kick off my Triple Play.
I had never worked WAS in a weekend previously in any contest.  I got
46 confirmed on LOTW from Roundup.

Lesson learned again was to get up at 4:30 local time to work 40M.  

Congrats to Jim, AD6WL for his apparent win for LP in the Orange Section.
