Comments:

As has become my habit, I couldn't decide how much I wanted to do a full
time
effort this year, but outside commitments made the decision for me.  A
planned
Saturday eve dinner took me out out of the chair for part of the crucial
first 8
hours, then Sunday a planned morning breakfast with the family killed the
early
morning Sunday run.  This is not how you win.  I worked the last section -
VE4 -
7 hours of operating in - a new record for me and a little
de-motivational.  I'm
used to scratching for 83 right until the end.  I worked four VE6s, that was
different!
Lots of CQ on one radio and S&P on the other.  At times it was dual S&P
- a lot of stations seem content to endlessly call CQ.  Maybe that's the new
"radio with no knobs" phenomenon?
Anyway, it was fun as always and great to exchange names and "HI" to
old friends who show up every year.  There were a lot of checks earlier than
mine - 61 - and that's good and bad.  Us old timers are still with it, but
not
forever.  There were quite a few checks of 00 and newer - great to see
that!
Thanks for all the Qs.  My SO2R skills were weak at first - sorry about
that!
