Comments:

I keep trying to break pass records for myself.  Must stop doing this.  Takes a lot time that could be used to make Q's.

My record for WAS is 5 hours (during Calif. QSO Party).  Took 5.5 hours this time.  SC - was the tuff one.  Took
over 40 minutes to track one down.

The other record for Sweepstakes - working 80 sections.  Took 10 hours this time.  Spent an hour looking for WPA.

The problem doing this type of operation - by the end of the first 10 hours, I hand only 250 Q's.  Most of the locals were
already pass 600 plus.

So Sunday, went for the Q's.  Lots of CQing.  worked 550 Q's in 6 hours.  Many times  working 3 Q's per minute.  Not
bad for the Sweepstakes exchange.  Without worrying  about working the Sections, 68 sections called in.  Maybe next year, I will go for
the score.

15 meters - some of the W0's were almost full scale S-meter readings.  Lots of 40 over 9 from W4 land.  Trying to get some action 
going on 10 meters.  But response from my CQ's.

Rig:  IC-7800 - Acom 2000A, SteepIR at 40 feet, with 40 meter.  80 meters - 100 feet of 300 ohm feed line - with no antenna attach.
        Lost my inverted V during the last contest operation.

Now, on to CQ WW CW contest.  My record for working 100 countries (CQ WW SSB) stands at 9 hours.  Should go for Q's this time.
