Comments:
First time ever in this contest. Gotta do this one again and  again. What a 
neat contest--shades of Field Day in that most exchanges were  fairly easy 
to copy. And the CW didn't seem too fast this time.  And  a nice 10 meter 
band with lots of elbow-room. Heard signals from the bottom  edge all the way 
up to 28.065. Had several hours with many QSOs per hour  (for me!) :) 
interspersed with many hours hearing just a few new  ones.
 
Worked 25 US states, only 1 Canadian province (ON), only 1 Mexican state  
(BCS), and 4 DX entities (Argentina, Brazil, Cayman Island, and Chile). Some  
nice long-hauls for my little indoor dipole. This is the contest to watch 
as the  sunspots increase over the next several years.
