I wonder how the AI4CM @ W4HZ operation turned out?  I heard W4MYA, N3UA and KG4W and maybe one of two other CVCCer's in this one.  My results are below. If you operated in this one let me know how you did.

I spent about 10 hours in this one from home.  I also operated most of Saturday
night with a multi-op entry from W4HZ's station with operators W4HZ, WK4Y and
AI4CM using the call AI4CM. SSB is not my preferred mode and I seldom operate
it but I gave it a go to help with the club score.  I screwed up a couple of
times by forgetting to check the running block in N1MM contest logger and was
putting out spots of stations I worked.  I was embarrased I did that and I want
to thank the folks who advised me of my error. 

At home I mainly operated S&P looking for sections with just a few runs on 80
meters.  Unfortunately I missed the sweep by one section.  I never found MS!

Thanks for the Q's!  It was fun in spite of the fact that I felt like a fish
out of water operating a SSB contest.
