Soapbox : We had company over the weekend - our 25th anniversary - so
I had to find a way to do this with a chance of a sweep. I decided to do 
SOA HP UNLIMITED - all S&P and try for an  80/80 sweep. Not a good 
choice, as I think I spent more time in the shack than Ruthie would
tolerate.

I got the sweep, but at what cost? I wound up needing WNY for the last 
one, and fortunately found W2BC  on 15 meters on my own! Now I guess 
I'm forced to buy a cup! Maybe I'll use it to make up with Ruthie. Think
she'll go for that deal??

N1MM has me down for 7 1/4 hours of operating, but I'm sure it was more
than that hunting the sections that didn't wind up on the cluster.


  I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations
  established for amateur radio in my country. My report is
  correct and true to the best of my knowledge. I agree to be
  bound by the decisions of the Contest Committee.
