Comments:

I decided to operate SOLP this year in memory of our good friend and
contester Paul WN6K.  He was *always* SOLP in SS and often won the SDG
section, sometimes SW Div.  And he was very much a BIS guy for however many
hours the contest ran.  

I'm not THAT dedicated, but I did make a Clean Sweep, my first in a while.
I agree with Dick W6TK that a Clean Sweep Unassisted is more of a challenge
than Assisted.  

I went to bed Sat. night (after *finally* finding an LAX station - WA6URY)
needing 3 sections:  VE2, VO1 or VO2, and VY1 et al.  I wasn't terribly
optimistic.  But VE2EZD called me early Sunday morning.  Then I found VO1HP
on 10m (of all places) and VY1CO on 15m.  The Sweep was done by 1730Z (9:30
a.m. local)!  Much to my wife's chagrin, I will buy yet another Clean Sweep
coffee cup. :-) 

I had some really good runs on 40 on Sat. evening.  I apparently got spotted
a few times on at least a couple of bands, and I was amazed at the instant
pileup
- didn't last long, but it was fun!  Condx overall were great, and it was SO
nice to have a lot of activity on 10m!!

Station:  K3; 4-el SteppIR, 40-2CD, 80m inv vee - all at 60 feet.

Tnx QSOs, and 73 to all de Jim K6ZH
