110 including 2 dupes for 108 QSOs.

The band sounded in great shape but I always felt a bit behind the pace.  I 
staked out 3520.5 before the off but found it too noisy so went looking for 
a new one, and ended up on 3545-ish with an even noisier frequency. 
Mistake!

Good fun though, nice stready rate right through 65 mins of CQing followed 
by 25 of S&P and even my local QRN wasn't too bad.

One criticism - one station who seemed to be having a little trouble copying 
me didn't send a clear R or TU at the end of the QSO,  but just started 
CQing again, which left me calling him again and I wasn't sure he'd actually 
completed the contact until he sent a higher serial number for the next QSO.

The word would pass, by pounding brass, and all were well contented."
