Comments:

Good race on online scoreboard with Bill W9KKN at NW6P.  I think our
stations are probably quite comparable and not in California superstation
class.  I was aware that MJ and KKN were most likely not on this year from
YI and TQT so I thought it would be good year to see how things would play
from here in SO HP which I have not operated from my station since 2015 and
maybe I did not have all station together yet that time.  I had decided to
double down with my last years LP effort strategy and operated even more CW
this year (74 % vs 70 % last year).  I could figure early that Bill was
operating way more SSB but as I was able to stay ahead and somewhat increase
score gap as contest progressed I didn't see reason to adjust what I was
doing.  In hindsight, I could have probably spent some time on 40 m SSB and
work couple hundred QSOs quickly, but somehow I felt busy enough on CW.  It
is tough to beat the point advantage of CW, and it is much easier for me to
use 2 radios effectively on CW. Very nice to see 15 m open this time.  There
were plenty of stations in all but 2 states. 
VY1 came answering just after 00z and I worked 3 QSOs with 2 different
stations in KL7, those 2 were rarest multipliers.  This year there were
plenty of VE6 stations which was rarest multiplier I worked last year.  I
also worked few Europeans both on 20 and 15 meters.  Score is best I ever
done and it even beats current M/S record which we set with N6AN from this
same station with mostly same set-up in 2018.  And M/S stations can operate
whole 30 hrs.  So that M/S record is ready to fall with some more sunspots
now and serious effort from reasonable station.  Huge numbers again from
many out of state stations, so this QSO Party is really best of them all and
very popular.  The rules are just right and organizers of NCCC are working
hard to make it great event each year.  Tnx for QSOs ! de Marko N5ZO
