Comments:

A part-time effort - but my personal best in SS CW. My previous best was in 2008 with 35,500 claimed from 250 Qs with 71 mults. 

40m was the money band, of course. Managed some good runs there both evenings. Also managed to run a bit on 20m and 80m. Best moment was early Sunday evening, when the rate meter hit 144/hr in the last 10 Qs. I didn't think I'd ever be able to do that in SS CW.

Conditions seemed to be superb. 10m was wide open on Saturday. 

The Elecraft K3 worked wonders through the entire contest. The more I use it, the more I really like this radio.

I can remember when 80 mults would be a sweep. Only missed three: EWA, NL, QC. I did hear a EWA and QC station, but never managed to work them. 

VY1EI was everywhere. I must have called him a dozen times and moved on until I finally made contact Sunday afternoon.

Awesome fun, and great CW practice.
