No time to be my usual verbose self, I have to get to bed for a horrible 
first day back to work tomorrow.  (I know, I've seen the schedule!)

In brief, subject to log proofreading:
  Total QSO's..................    500
  Unique Callsigns Worked......     20
  QSO Points, all Bands........  2,000
  Distance Points, all Bands... 90,262
  FINAL SCORE.................. 92,262

Best Dx in Km
  10 GHz....................... 281  (EN24ve to EN15kp on Saturday with 
6 Sisseton operators)
  24 GHz.......................   5  (EN34ak to EN34al on Sunday with 
one rover operator on WBFM)

To *EVERYONE* who participated in any way, I must say, "Thank you, thank 
you, thank you!".

I am extremely pleased at how our planning paid off.  More from me later on.

P.S., if *I* managed 500 QSO's (not 499, as Dan said), then it looks 
like most or all of the rovers will have done so also, since I missed 
some QSO's that others were able to make.  That means dupe sheets are 
needed.  (I never knew that, until Jon mentioned it.)  If you are using 
my spreadsheet for tabulating your log, the dupe sheet *CAN* be created 
by it, but it is something that takes considerable care so that you 
don't scramble the whole thing up.  If anyone wants help generating a 
dupe sheet from their Excel log sheet, let me know and I will be happy 
to help.  (Ouch, the price of success!)
