Our 100 watt 3A (K9OR) made 1039 Q's on 40 meters alone. The operator of that 
position worked 40 cw for 22 hours, pausing only for a nap when things slowed 
down (2:30 am)  Our antennas were all dipoles at decent heights. I split my time 
between 80, 20, and 15, and worked you on 80.  Somehow we missed you on 40.
