Well, I've gotten a sweep on CW for the last 4 years ( and many times
before that )
and a sweep on SSB for the same period. However, while rate is
important, and multipliers vs QSOs are as stated, it's points per
multiplier which really come into play. CT will display this
information.

As for the multipliers, was looking at my 99 and 00 logs, and noticed
ONT was #76 in the 99 log and SC #76 in the 2000 log. With some
multipliers, you must, in my opinion, make a special effort to get
them the first time you hear them, even if rate 
suffers.

And I have yet to see an answer to my post asking if any of our SC
guys will be on.
Some sections scare me to death, such as LA, KS, SC, and OK, but SC is
the worst.

Hope to work all of you. Will be on 40 about 8 or so local, and spend
about an hour or so on 80 from about 9 to 10 before switching to 40
for the night.

Again, W4AX said to me yesterday that he is still planning the trip to
SC on Sunday, but would probably be able to make only a few contacts.

And to all of you who submitted tips, kudos on sharing your
information. Really good!
